Remington chokes

Absolutely!

However, if you (OP) wish to take full advantage of a one-shotgun-do-it-all type of product then simply dispose of your Stevens while that is still in new shape and acquire a Mossberg or Remington combo - example: a longer barrel equipped with screw-in chokes + a short cantilever barrel (usually a rifled bbl). Whenever needed, the cantilever barrel with optics installed could simply be removed without affecting the scope's zero. With proper maintenance, such a setup can provide years of service and meet diverse field requirements till perhaps such time you begin to look for something else.

Frugality is an excellent trait. However, from a perspective of somewhat long term cost efficiency, the combo would be the initial path to take. This particular hobby will involve some expense and attempts to cut corners right at the onset may lead to spending more in the long run.

This is good information, it is better to buy the tool you need then to make the wrong tool work. A Mossberg or Remington two or three barrel combo package could be a good investment. Alternatively, one could find a decent used Wingmaster for around $350-$500 and then sort out a second barrel on the EE for example.
 
Thanks , lots of good info and advice! I don't mind the criticism because between the semi demeaning words was some useful info.
I ask a lot of questions but who else can I ask. I'm the only one interested in firearms and hunting in my family. I'm from
A super liberal / gun hating family with vegetarians mixed in there.
So when I have a question or concern I look it up online, watch YouTube videos and ask you great fellas. I've learned a lot and feel way more comfortable with anything to do with firearms. I Can't deny Hands on experience is the best tho.

In conclusion thanks for the advice and info. It will help decide what I do with my Stevens 320.

Hit the nail on the head. Nothing wrong with those combo guns and you can hunt pretty much anything once you know your limits.

City kid eh? :) welcome!
 
It's not threaded , smooth inside the bore all the way to the muzzle. I remember calling savage arms and asking if it takes removable chokes and they said NO. The field version has 28" barrel with a fixed modified choke.

Is it bad to be financially responsible and not throw away money? I know the Canadian trend is to be in bad credit card debt or have lines of bank credit maxed out but I don't agree with that.

I don't think threading it would make sense. I bought it for 193$ Brand new from savage arms directly and id imagine setting it up for a choke would cost around $150$?
I can buy a shotgun for hunting purposes with a longer barrel and w/chokes for like $300- $400 new and maybe sell this security version for 250-300$

If you have the field version with the fixed modified you will have a very versatile gun in terms of hunting. you can shoot slug, steel shot and have a decent choke for shooting clays. Many of the old existing full choke shotguns have been reamed out to fixed modified choke. I have two. And if you got it for under $200 you're sitting pretty good.

Edit: OK. I'm rereading your post and it seems like you have the fixed cylinder security version. Not that practical for hunting.
 
Too bad Stevens does not sell barrels individually. Seems rather short sighted...

FWIW OP - Its just as easy to miss with a 28 inch modified choke as it is to miss with a 20 inch cylinder bore. I'm going to give you the opportunity to get some actual experience shooting your shotgun (skeet), proviso I you have to drive 100 miles there and back on a Tuesday, burn through two or three boxes of #9, and be able to watch and listen. Perhaps some others can also step up to the plate, and offer this poor misguided lad some real experience.
