You can always get some camo tape and cover some of it up. Black isn't that bad. I tend to stay away from the black stocks tho. I've always been a wood stock guy but I got this gun on sale and this colour was the only other option other than black haha. Only other complaint I have about this gun is its not drilled or taped for a rail which sucks

Oh no kidding, mine is, I had a belt on it but got rid of it because the belt was short didnt feel comfortable, and I'm actually looking online for some reason mine was a bit more expensive, but yah I'm thinking of somehow the stock and forearm wood or wood color that would be alright, I'm still debating if I should use a modified choke or improved cylinder choke, I feel like I want to try to shoot ducks at a closer range since I'm not comfortable yet or confident yet in shooting long range , so maybe an IC with either 2 2/4 4s or 3" 4!

If it chambers 3 and a half it will be a little more expensive than the 3 inch chamber.

As for the chokes try them out and see what works better for you.

For turkeys I use #4s with a full choke i think but thats a diffrent game lol.

Yo I'm actually thinking of going out this month for turkey ! I think they could be found anywhere eh? It's not like waterfowl where got to be much more spicific of the land.
For ducks for sure gonna have to try few methods and see what works best for me

Practice, practice, practice ! Reload and repeat. Finding the right load for you and your gun will take some time putting shots down range on patterning paper. Strange as it is some guns perform better with certain mfg.'s shells. Once you dial in what load and choke you shoot best with its back to practice, practice, practice.
