I am considering making a deal on a used shotgun. I have never owned one and need some help with the deal. I am looking to get into skeet shooting - taking a beginner's class on October 2nd at OKCGC. The gun I'm looking at is a Remington 1100 Skeet model 12ga. This is a factory skeet model and is marked skeet on the reciever and barrel. It is 26" barrel, double bead sights, non removable chokes and it has a skeet vent rib.
I'm not sure what most of this means, but the gun looks nice and obviously is designed for the application i am interested in. However, I may eventually want to pheasant, dove and duck hunt and want to know if this would be good for that as well.
I don't really know what non-removable chokes mean and why you would want one. All the ads and posts here talk about the variety of chokes you can use in shotguns. Would I need to get another barrel to use a different shot pattern? If so, what would a new barrel cost? What about home defense?
Any info about this gun would be very much appreciated.
