I have two Winchester model 42's. One is full choke, and it patterns too tight for real hunting. It would create a loss of meat in a rabbit at under 30 yards. The modified choke is my fun shooting dove gun. When I was a teenager on the Rio Grande River in TX, I would get under a large mesquite tree on the riverbank and get 15 doves with 15 shells as they flew about 30 feet above me.
