carbonhunter Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 I thnik you need to pattern it to find out. The aftermarket choke tubes are very very good and can make a differance it just depends on what your needs are and what ranges you do most of your shooting.

AJ Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Re: Choke tube question Factory choke tubes are alright at best. Getting the best patterns possible is not on the top of the gn manufacturers list. Aftermarket choke companies, on the other hand do get the best patterns. High quality choke tubes from Briley, Seminole, and others are definately a step ahead of the OEM tubes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xen Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Re: Choke tube question you really need to pattern your gun. try some different distances and different chokes. i think the worst thing people do is purchase chokes that have been given a rating based on lead shot for targets or birds, like 7 thru 9 shot, but the choke has an entirely different pattern when you start using steel shot in the heavy sizes like 0 thru 4. you might find out that an improved cylinder is giving you a nice pattern at range. i still use skeet chokes when i go duck hunting, but then tighten up to a modified for geese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I typically shot an improved cylinder for decoying ducks. I shot modified for dark geese. Both of these were using steel shot.
