Sorry, I thought it was picture # 3!!!!

Full choke 30" is a little extreme for skeet. Most skeet guns have little choke constriction, some where between IC and modified. Picture # 3 is a 28" barrel with modified choke and would be a much better choice for a skeet gun. For turkey Full or xtra-full would be better.

I know condition is important and the picture you posted is a very lovely shotgun, I just don't think it will serve you well for skeet shooting.

You might what to google Ithaca barrels and see if a skeet barrel is available, you could then have a great turkey gun and a "purdy" skeet shooter all in one!

Good Luck & Be safe
