What gun are you buying? It should come with at least 3 choke tubes if it is a new gun? I would test your patterns with them before spending anymore money. my 2 cents, you may already have all you need?
Remington 870 Express. New, but comes with only 1 choke - Improved Mod. I got it for only $270, so I wasn't expecting it to come with any bells & whistles.

Why pay some one to reduce the value of your shotgun?
It's not reducing the value of the gun if it's removable. It's a screw-in choke. Plus, I bought the gun to keep and use.
