I bought a Lefever Nitro Special 16 Ga. Double barrel shotgun in very nice shape. It is the subject of a couple of posts in the gunsmithing section. Factory marking show the chokes to be Full and Cylinder.
What type of hunting would favor that combination of chokes? Or is it basically two single shot shotguns married together?
As poor as I shoot a shotgun I can see the usefulness of shooting the cylinder first and following up on the same bird after the inevitable miss with the full choke at the now more distant bird. But I suspect no one would order a gun that way. Well. Maybe I would.
I'm not familiar enough with the games but what i think I know is it probably wouldn't be a good combination for either skeet or trap. I don't know the course of fire in sporting Clays.
Thanks.
