After 50 years of shotgunning I have come to the realize that opening chokes is almost never the answer ,you will not shoot better and you can ruin a good shotgun , also I will never install after market choke tubes in any shotgun. Take the time to pattern your gun with different shells like spreader loads, low cost target loads, high end target loads etc. It may really surprise you, the best factory spreader loads for me were polywad brand , which I use in a 20ga VH with full chokes [.025 ] for woodcock hunting. I hate to see those 100 year old factory chokes removed for no good reason. I now just pass on any gun that has altered chokes or Brileys .
