Leave the H.D. barrel on the gun year-round until the night before hunting trips, then take the 30 seconds to convert it back to a field gun.
Heh, didn't know you could do that. That simplifies matters. Do all shotguns allow barrel changes like that? And just to be clear, you're talking about this gun, right? Would there be a significant benefit to getting the magnum version so I can stick bigger cartridges in there?

As for choke tubes, they're interchangeable, right? What's so special about the RemChoke barrel?

Thanks for the advice; it's a real help.
