Skip the next paragraph if you don't care about the backstory.
Up until this point in my life I have only put about a half dozen rounds through a scater cannon. Recently a friend of mind turned 18 and I did as well. He started to look at shotguns and he got me me interested. My friend was thinking about a single barreled (spl?) 12 gauge, but that did not apeal to me.
A few days ago I went to a local gun shop shouldered a few shotguns and I think I want a SXS. Pumps felt like cheap stamped metal in my hands. Autos and O/U I just don't think I could purchase. There was a Russian SXS that just felt right.
My questions:
1.Are the russian guns of good quality?
2.The gun comes with IC barelles. This shotgun will be used for hunting... Could a gunsmith cut the barrels and install threads for screw in chokes? If so, at what cost?
3. Any tips for a person new to shotguns?
