Mossberg 835 and Slugs

I decided to follow Old Grump's advice and buy a Mossberg 500.
What choke to order for slugs? Skeet or IC ?

Thanks
 
Either will work. This is from memory but Briley chokes go Cyl, Skeet 1, Imp. Cyl., Skeet 2, Mod.

Now I understand you can not have rifled barrels, but are you prohibited for using rifled choke tubes? If you are not prohibited, I would recommend one of them because yuo can then add the various sabot slugs to you ammunition choices where available.
 
I typically use IC for slugs or a fixed choke IC barrel. That's with Remington guns. Mossberg for some reason doesn't choke their slug barrels and leaves them Cyl bore. Maybe try a Cyl accuchoke? Or can you get a smoothbore 500 slug barrel there? or a combo gun that comes with both barrels?

Having the dedicated slug barrel also gets you the rifled sights to better use the slugs. Here in the states there are guns with 2 barrel combination sets sold.
 
I can get the 500 smooth slug barrel here. I ve seen it and i liked the sights a lot.
I will start with the field barrel and maybe I will buy the slug barrel later
 
I have one with the slug barrel, one with the IC choke and one with the IM choke. They all work good enough but I get groups just a bit tighter with the IM. Only choke not to use no matter what is the extra full and cylinder bore. The first is bad for the gun and the second is bad for accuracy.

I have the fiber optic hi viz sights on the slug barrel and on my semi auto smoothbore, Mossberg M9200 and I just love them for fast shooting.
