12 ga full choke 3 1/2" chamber?
« on: October 18, 2010, 10:45:44 PM »
 Guys
 I was in a local shop last weekend. He had a 12 ga full choke 3 1/2" chamber, with plastic stock set. What in world would use that for? The barrel was not long(I didn't measure it), so I am guessing it is not for Geese. Would it be a Turkey set up? Why would it have plastic and not wood?
I can only imagine the recoil would be massive :o

Just curious what someone would use it for.

I had one of those, it patterned better than any shotgun I've ever owned with 3 1/2" loads but also recoiled worse than anything I've ever felt.

Mines been cut and tapped for choke tubes as well.  Works wonders with big steel shotloads out of the 3 1/2 shells.

I've got the Turkey Federation one in full choke and its a real beast with the 3 1/2" turkey load or the 3" slug. The geese climb higher when they fly over my place too.   ;D
I'm not that recoil sensative, but I grip it real good. Usually you can pick them up cheap, because folks forget that you can shoot 2 3/4" stuff in it too.
