Friends:
Not much I can improve on with these comments. Just that i never even look at the choke of a gun I pull out for a round of clays, and seem to do a passing job with all... including cylinder.
The last elk I shot was stone dead from a .30/06 at about 250 yards. Used a fixed 4X scope for decades and never wanted more.
Gimmicks keep the manufacturers going. The good shot learns by shooting within his limits. And is always careful to respect the game at any range. The rest is just commerce.
