I used to shoot a lot of trap and used a full choke too. I've never heard of anybody using anything else for trap, but that's because your shots are at 40+ yards. I haven't done a lot of quail hunting, but when I have, they are usually about 10 yards away and don't give you much time to shoot. I'd want a 20 gauge or smaller, with either a skeet or improved cylinder choke. If you ever hit one with the center of a full choke pattern, even if you let 'em get out to 20 yards, I don't imagine you'd find much left of the bird except a few feathers.  

But, maybe where you hunt you're shooting them at 50 yards. I guess anything's possible.  :dunno:

The best place I know of to look at a lot of over/under guns would be at any of the shotgun clubs. Especially when there is any kind of shoot going on. Many of these guys will even let you try them. Plus there's always a bunch of them for sale or someone knows someone etc, etc. You could also put a WTB sign up at a couple clubs and check out the options after the phone starts ringing.
