I bought one back in about 2002 or 2003, and used it for about 3 years pretty hard before we had our first kid. Haven't been hunting much since then, but I love the choke tube. The only thing I used it for was waterfowl because it was supposed to be designed to work well with the thicker wads used in non-toxic loads.
Between that tube and Hevi-Shot, I killed a hen mallard at about 50 yards straight up as she circled around to see what happened to her other 2 flying buddies when they came in right over the decoys (i.e., I knocked both of the drakes down with the first 2 shots, one of which had a $100 reward band on it) and she came down dead as a rock. Usually, I don't shoot hens, but it was the first day I had my puppy out for waterfowl and I wanted to give him as many opportunities as possible to retrieve. Anyway, I was extremely surprised that the hen came down like a rock and didn't move a feather after hitting the ground.
Visit the board a little more often! LOL
