IC
Modified, and if you ever sell that Ithaca I call dibs.
It's an opinion for a reason
IC. Pattern both of them. I think you will be surprised with the results.
I'm like Phoneman. I like mod because I'm more likely to either kill them or completely miss them. I hate knocking the pajamas off a bird only to see him fly out of the field. Some of the close birds get burgered though.
Cylinder and 3.5" shells with 9 shot
If the gun has choke tubes, I love IC/IM for snipe and dove and I used to use that combination for ducks until high-speed steel came out. I worry that IM might be a little tight for big, fast steel shot.

To answer your question, this^^^^
If you're torn, buy a Pure Gold 15 and throw your factory chokes away. The PG's pattern noticeably better than the factory extended chokes in Brady's A300 Sporting. He runs a 15 most of the time, switches to a 5 on occasion if they're close
They screw in. Take both. If your getting lots of close shots have the ic in. If further out then change to mod. Only takes a min. Don’t over think it.
If a man is alone in the woods, says something, and a woman does not hear, is he still wrong?

Common sense is not a gift. It's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone else who doesn't have it.
I usually just leave modified in my bird guns

There's no reason to switch around chokes, this is all silly. Don't be weak and inefficient.
Seems like a good time to remind people that Improved Modified is between a Modified and Full. Light Mod is between improved and modified.
Seen a couple people get confused on that.
If you don't know how your choke preforms then you've got bigger problems.
