Choke Tube Help?

Fish Hawg · 12-26-2003, 03:43 PM

[img]graemlins/1zhelp.gif[/img] What are your favorite choke tube sizes and brands? For geese and ducks; hunting over decoys. Are the high dollar chokes worth the money? I just got a Benelli Nova w/ HD advantage timber camo. It came with a modified. I wanted to get an improved modified; that is what my 870 super mag had in it. Is that too tight for hunting over decoys?

Thanks in advance��Ross

I've got the same gun. Bought a Pattern Master and I wasn't impressed so I started searching. Mike T told me about the Briley Light Modified and now I use it in every situation.The Briley is about 35$ or so at Sportsman's..Well worth the money. Shoot mostly over decoys with 2's or BB's.(Ducks and Geese.)Buy one and you won't be disappointed. Still put the full choke in for turkeys though.

Get Bit what is it about the pattern master you dont like? I have one on my super black eagle and i like it it seems to work fine.

I use Briley light modified or IC and I'm happy with it.

Just seemed like I was very inconsistent with it. Either dead on or complete miss. I guess that because we are always hunting over decoys and the average shot is 15-20 yards most of the time. I probably didn't give it real fair shake before I switched over to the Briley.

Ross,

I bought the gun a year and a half ago.I've beat the heck out the gun and had zero problems with it. Have only done a complete cleaning twice since I owned it but I do wipe it down every time. Great gun!! I have the Briley Light Modified thats extended but not ported. Sportsman's has them. Talk to Tyler in Clackamas and he can set you up. Hope this helps.

Just a thought

If steel shot shoots tighter then lead. Then an IC shooting steel would be like an Mod shooting lead.
