    Spanish gun. Not bad.
    My only thought is that it has fixed chokes IC/M. I would look for screw in chokes so I could use skt/skt for skeet and IM for trap. Or even some combo for sporting clays.

    Ah.

    I didn't even catch that.
    I don't even know what IC/M means. But I do know that I would like some choke variability.

    IC/M means it has fixed chokes with one barrel being Improved Cylinder and the othe Modified.
    In order of increasing restriction is
    Cylinder, Skeet, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, Full.

    There are others in between some of these, but not all that common.

    Nothing wrong with fixed chokes. Patterns can be manipulated somewhat by the choice of shells. Backboring can also tighten constrictions. Or, choke tubes can be installed if needed. One of my sporters is a fixed choke IC&IM. I don't feel handicapped in the least. Even when I shoot my choke tubed guns I tend to use LM&LM for Skeet and Sporting. If you start adding choke tubes to the requirements, you just eliminated most of the guns in your price range.
