Went chukar hunting recently and thought I'd try carrying my 30" m/f choked Lefever 12 with 1oz #6 rst's. My conclusion: It is no chukar gun. It's place is in the duck blind or boat, or in the flat pheasant fields. It's just too slow to get on ultra fast covey rises in time, and it's choked too tightly as well, although spreader loads would obviously be the solution for that. I hunted the next day with a quick 6lb 16 and did much better. All that said, I love the gun though, but it's my primary duck/pheasant gun. Nothing wrong with using the tool appropriate for the job at hand.
