Standard choke identification
Choke Type   Identification (Notches)
Full Choke:               I notch
Improved Modified:   II notches
Modified:                  III notches
Improved Cylinder:   IIII notches
Cylinder:                  IIIII notches
For what it's worth I shoot 6 to 7 K rounds a year on Sporting Clays. And 99% are with an IC and the rest is with Skeet and or Cylinder. With an Auto Loader or Pump gun it's IC.

i've never seen a rem choke with those notches, but my browning and benelli have them.
you can still get gas in heaven, and a drink in kingdom come,
in the meantime, i'll be cleaning my gun

Thanks a lot guys!! I just looked and saw where the Choke is. And by those pictures it must be a Cylinder Choke. So I should probably replace it with a modified choke later.

FWIW, I do a lot of bird hunting (primarily upland, but some waterfowl) and my IC choke rarely leaves my gun.  The only time it does is for late season birds and then I will switch over to a modified.

Yes, as a tune up for hunting season.  If I was shooting for score, I'd probably opt for a cylinder or a skeet choke.

To answer your question "do you use IC choke for skeet shooting too?" Yes I do most of the time, I don't shoot skeet for score. For trap, I''ll use a Light -Mod or MOD, Skeet a IC or Skeet but for sporting clays it's always an IC unless its a close target and the Skeet/CL and sometimes on a longer target I might put in an Light-MOD. I tend to change my shot size for the shooting station (sporting clays) trap and skeet are fixed distances.
