I'm no expert on Huskies (or much of anything else) but have owned and used quite a number of shotguns imported from Sweden, and they all (including Huskies, Valmets, AyAs, and a Simson) had both barrels very tightly choked--we'd say "Full and Fuller."
Can a Scandinavian (or otherwise knowledgeable member) explain that? Were these field grade "farmer" guns used for "everything BUT upland hunting" like we sometimes used to use full-choke 12s--pot shooting birds out of trees, passing ducks and geese, varmints like crows, foxes and coyotes with heavy shot, and general self defense?
Were "scatter loads" available for upland wingshooting, or were other guns used, or is that just not a common sport in Scandinavia?
Certainly the ones I've had needed choke-opening, even with paper shells, for the kind of upland shooting we normally do--grouse, quail, and close pheasants.
