I would have to go IC. It can kill a bird out to some crazy distances, and with just 3/4 oz of shot. I had my eyes opened to that capability by my shooting mentor some years ago. KY John, my French guns with fixed chokes are/were indeed too tight, so I went the easy route and brought in from France a set of barrels in the white, had Kirk Merrington fit them to the gun, and PA24 black them after they had been nicely engraved. Needed open barrels for my first go at ruffs on the north shore of Superior, and that barrel set almost never leaves the gun, choked .000 and .007. I have another set in the white that I was going to have fit to the other Ideal, but it's the wrong era. Lo and behold, it is the
correct era for the
first Ideal that has two sets. So of course, the logical thing to do is have them made into a third set. Perhaps choked .005 and .015?
