What is the best all purpose choke to have in your shotgun?
Suppose you could only have 1 choke in your shotgun. What is the best all purpose choke to have?
I am not talking name brand but size.

For me, it would definately be IC. IC is good for slugs, skeet, home defense, close range dove, quail, small game, and ducks over decoys.
What it is marginal for is trap, longer range dove, pass shooting ducks, deer/hogs with buckshot. What is is no good at all for is turkeys. |

I'd have to go with Modified, myself.
Gives a little longer reach while still giving decent close-range performance.
