Wondering what kind of shooter this is? Are they dependable? Whats they`re weak link? Choked in full and modified with 28" barrel and double triggers. Will be using mostly for upland bird. Thanks!

Full and modified chokes are not the best chokes for bird hunting. The gun is a solid performer. I had one years ago but sold it during hard times. I liked it. For upland hunting, you should have more open chokes.

Not to mention the newer heavy shot loads pattern tighter. I just picked up an old Stevens 311 12 gauge choked IC and modified. Glad I got the gun with open chokes. And they are harder to find that way. A good smith can open up the chokes for you. For upland use you are going to want more open chokes.
