If it has the solid rib, buy it even if you don't know what you'll use it for.
My full choke 20's are for doves and quail in the desert, sometimes for pheasant. Also makes a nice gun for cottontails in the dunes. I'll probably take a Win Mod 12 in 20 gauge with a 30" Full vent rib barrel to AZ for September doves, after the first two or three days of the season. Shot a 20 gauge Win Mod 1912 with 25" Full solid rib barrel on opening day a few years ago, worked like a champ. Use smaller pellets (8's and 9's) and soft shot to open up the patterns. If you reload, use fiber wads or shorten the shotcup to open patterns even more. No real need for spreader loads.
