Although I appreciate the replies, I disagree. A shotgun with rifle sights by its very nature is a specialized gun for shooting slugs and maybe buckshot. And if you're shooting a distances greater than 25 yards, perhaps a rifle would be better anyway...or at least slugs.

I just don't see the need for the different chokes...I'm just disappointed that they don't at least make it an option to not have the chokes...cuz I don't need 'em.
