Guest Squirrelbuster Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 I heard that the New England Pardner Pump uses accu chokes, which is the same as the ones used by Mossberg. If this is true does that mean that if I buy an after market choke for it then I would buy the ones that say Mossberg 500 on them because there aren't any aftermarket chokes that say pardner on them? Thanks for any info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Re: New England pardner pump? I just called H&R 1871 and asked them if the Pardner pump shotgun used Winchoke pattern choke tubes and they confirmed that they do indeed use the Winchoke system. The Winchoke system is the most popular system in use. Click here for interchangeable choke tubes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Squirrelbuster Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Re: New England pardner pump? Thanks for the replies, but I have decided against the pardner. I was going to get it to save money but since it only comes with one choke by the time I by more chokes for it it will be just as expensive as the Mossberg 500 which already comes with 3 chokes. So I am just going to get the Mossberg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Re: New England pardner pump? I think you'll be happier with the 500. I love my NEF rifles, but that pardner just feels and looks cheap. Don't really know anything about their performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Squirrelbuster Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Re: New England pardner pump? I did finally get my new shotgun and I am glad i didn't get the Pardner, but I didn't end up getting a Mossberg 500. I went to Gander Mountain and they had a lot of guns on clearance. I found the Winchester 1300 speed pump for $229, $100 cheaper than its original price. I wanted a 12 ga. but unfortuanately the gun only came in 20ga. but I got it anyway. It feels nice and shoulders nice, and although I am not very good with a shotgun. I think it will be worth the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Re: New England pardner pump? I like the 1300 a lot more than the 500. Good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
