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?

RE: Thoughts on Poly-Choke?
I just had a poly-choke put on an old extra 870 barrel last week and so far I like it. It is not the removeable type but thats ok by me. You can buy extra rem-chokes for around $15.00, check ebay or guns America and you might do better. I have several guns with screw in chokes and 90% of the time I use the improve cylinder tube. IMHO most hunters would do better with a more open choke than a tighter choke. Most game is taken a 30yds or less so a more open choke is a big advantage. As far as lessening the value of a gun by having a poly-choke put on, it it depends on who wants to buy one. A couple of advantages with the poly-choke is you don't have to carry a choke wrench and extra tubes which sometimes get lost. And how about when your shooting sporting clays you can change with just a quick turn rather than having to remove and install another choke. Just my 2 cents worth.

I can't be just throwing money at stuff I'm not sure of. I'm just getting started in hunting, and I've had not one hand-me-down. I've dumped a whole bunch of money over the past year on this 'hobby' - buying a rifle, scope, shotgun, calls, camo, ammo, accessories like slings & gear bags, license, gun vise & cleaning kit, and I haven't even picked up a decent set of binoculars, boots, decoys, and who knows what else. And i'm starting to hear it from my wife. I have to make sure I have some money left over for some flowers and jewelry. I don't think she would appreciate me buying her a .22...come to think of it, that adds another thing to my wish-list. Oh, and I don't have a 4x4, either.
