...."A 16 is best when it's not trying to be a 12".... I think the new info makes a difference in the one gun restriction exercise. There seems to be an implication that a twelve gauge is available, and that it has some greater capability than the 16. In that case, I'd tend toward more open chokes on the sixteen. If it was framed in terms of wanting a super twenty, then in my mind, I'd lean towards more choke. A one gun restriction is truly a nightmare scenario, and then some.

While I hate the thought of only one gun, I'd probably shoot better by focusing on one.
Yesterday was not so good at the range going from my AyA 16 to a Benelli goose getter.
As to chokes, one open and one tighter, IC/Mod or lt.Mod/IM would do. I find choke is less important than I thought, just not too tight in the first barrel.

Remember what Aaron Burr said in Hamilton,"Talk less, smile more".  This should make you smile more Bob... this is what you said back in 2016 when someone started a thread criticizing your precious anti-gun Democrats when they didn't display the American Flag at their Convention- Post #451503 - 07/27/16: Snopes said there were flags too, and discredited that story. But the DNC discredited Snopes... and you as well... when they apologized and explained that the reason they didn't display the Flag was because they didn't want to offend anyone. Jagermeister is certainly not my "arch-enemy". He is simply another disingenuous Liberal Democrat Fudd (without a single double gun) who posts a lot more often than you. I thought taking a shot at your precious Democrats would flush you and make you take a return shot at me. I'm smiling a little bit now. Let me know when you're grinding the enamel off your teeth at night, so I can really smile, OK? P.S.- If I was ordering a new 16 gauge double, I'd know enough about my typical uses for it to decide for myself what chokes would be best.
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

Bob, you sound so reasonable and level-headed... to those that don't know about your true nature: I had negotiated a price and put my cash on the barrel head.
What does any of John Boyds whining or Flintfans stupid ideas
about how to run a business have to do with what happened to me? I had negotiated a price and put my cash on the barrel head.
What does any of John Boyds whining or Flintfans stupid ideas
about how to run a business have to do with what happened to me? You had handed over cash, and the seller refused to give you the gun? That is theft of a firearm, a felony. I hope you called the police. Are you retarded? Re-read the op you dim wit. Re-read the op you dim wit. Ok, let's try this. Since I'm too stupid (even though you are the one that got scammed) to offer any advice to you, what are your plans to prevent this from happening to you again? Too stupid, your words, not mine. Would you please show me in any of my posts where I described being "duped" or "scammed"? Flintfan's well thought reply made you throw in the towel and slip out the back door. The entire exchange of manners and civility can be read by clicking on this link. But you were probably just having a bad day Bob. One of many. It made me smile: https://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=443723&page=1

Taking thread back to the subject
If only one gun, fixed chokes, and prewar, left .015 right .005.
If current manufacture, then choke tubes, with tubes .000 to .030 in .05 increments.
If limited to one gun as hard a choice as it would be, I might break and go modern with a newer SXS. I do note none of my SXS guns are newer than the 1920's.
Fortunately, I do not live in fear of a one gun SxS limit as other than a fictional construct for discussion purposes.

Whine less, smile more. If you really believe you will have only one gun, a 16 gauge double, there are worse things than choke tubes and a wrench to put them in. Like, having only one gun. Let us know what you decide to do. If you get that far, at any rate. Best, Ted
