I just picked up a 20ga Savage Milano O/U from a fellow CGNer. It came with 3 flush chokes: Full, Mod, and IC. I'm wondering about getting some more chokes and thought I'd get extended chokes. Apparently the choke type the Milano uses is a Verona LX.

I found some at ht tp://www.traphappens.ca/
For 20 gauge they list:
.000 CYLINDER
.005 SKEET 1
.010 IMPROVED CYLINDER
.015 SKEET 2 [light mod]
.020 MODIFIED
.025 IMPROVED MODIFIED
.030 FULL
.040 EXTRA FULL

This is my first 20ga, I have no experience with them at all and haven't even shot it yet. Eventually I'd like to try it at Skeet, maybe Trap for fun, and some upland birds, so a good all round selection I guess. So what would a good selection of chokes be?
 
For skeet, anything marked "skeet" will work just fine. Trap guys generally go tighter, Mod or Full. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't shoot skeet with a full choke, our you can't shoot trap with an IC, they are full of ####. It might not be as forgiving but it's certainly doable.

I use Light-Mod for everything, trap, skeet, and (mostly) sporting, and have not changed chokes in over a year; once you know your gun, chokes are more of am effect on the mental game than anything.
