I would think most of the major manufacturers make a compatible choke for your CD.

thanks guys. I was thinking of getting a rifled choke tube for it. Do they work as described or are they not worth the effort?

I've never used one or knew anyone who did, so I couldn't say. Seems like the slug would have to be smooth for it to pick up the rifling. Got to go to Google for my own curiosity, now.

It would appear that the sabot would be the slug to use with a smooth bore and rifled choke. It makes logical sense since the rifled slug does not need a rifled choke and the sabot needs rifling. If the rifled choke works (I don't know, it is something I've never needed to try) I can see where it would save you some scratch on purchasing a deer barrel if it was enough to spin a sabot.

According to Wikipedia, a rifled choke is used to spin the shot a little to make a larger pattern at close range shots. Again, I have no clue. Would be interesting to try some different things out with one to see what it does. I'm limited in SG knowledge since the only thing we do with one is shoot clays. I didn't even know I was using the wrong shot (#6) until a year after I started shooting clays. By that time, it was too late. I have stayed with #6.
