These Special Field models with straight grip stock are getting harder to find, and one of the best handling pump guns out there.
Good luck with your sale!

Beautiful gun. Not to thread crap, but could someone explain to me the purpose of a 22" barrel with chokes?

Knowing very little about shotguns, I cannot. Hopefully another member can shed some light on your question. Good question, anxious to learn myself.

Only thing that comes to mind is quail hunting in heavy cover. But 12ga is a bit much for quail. Unless you're trying to get as many out of the covey as you can with per shot?

Better balance for upland hunting. Much faster on target, and less to get tangled in brush. A 22" barrel on a pump gun puts it at about the same overall length as a 26-28" single shot or double gun. A 28" barrel on a pump gun is obnoxious in the woods.
I also had a brain fart. The "Special Field" was remingtons short barreled 870. Browning called theirs the "Upland Special".
I had the same one, and it was my all time favorite shotgun. Only gave it up due to a bad shoulder.

Grouse and pheasant (or as I call them, grouches and peasants). You know, upland game. Be a good turkey gun too I suppose.
heck of a deal on this one, I predict it won't last much longer.
