You might not need a FANCY choke tube
But you had better get off your butt and pattern you gun with your loads
As some guns & chokes & loads just plain don't pattern worth a darn togeather
As my SX3 will not pattern worth a darn any of the brands of #2 stell I have tryed , with any of the factory tubes
And all but 1 of the aftermarket tubes
But in another gun , these same loads pattern great
Second thing , also pattern your factory IC tube
As if you are getting birds to decoy
Many times the factory Mod tubes produce to tight of a pattern
Some Fringed or pre chewed birds , with to many clean misses
I will be shooting a IC tube unless we have to start pass shooting
