First of all, congratulations. I have many readers who shoot those guns and like them. There are many good chokes for that gun and I think I've tried them all. It might help to know what shotshell and size shot you intend to use with it.

Regardless, I'd recommend that you "deep clean" the bore, even if it's a brand new gun, to remove any "gunk" that may be present in it. It really helps and it also lets you get a good look at the bore itself. http://allaboutshooting.com/blogs/blog/98772615-deep-cleaning-a-shotgun-barrel

It's a simple procedure but I'd encourage you to follow the steps as closely as possible, including the "wait" period. That's usually the hardest one for most of us but it's as important as the scrubbing.

Again, if you'll let us know the shells and the size shot you intend to use, we can probably be of more help.

Thanks,
Clark

You're welcome. The "deep clean" helps a brand new gun as much as one that's been shot, so I always recommend starting there.

The Wincester Supreme with #5 shot is always a very good choice. It's Winchester's top selling shot size.

Thanks,

Any choke stand out for this gun.

I'm a huge fan of Trulock turkey chokes.  I prefer a non ported version.

There are several that do very well. The JEBS .650 or .655 would be outstanding. The SSX always does well with those shells in that gun. Those two are solid performers, at the opposite ends of the price range.

Thanks,

I'll second the Jebs.  Everything I've seen has shot good with their tubes.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.
