    Have you tried looking here?

    Not sure if they will suit your gun but worth a look.

    Bayliner,
    Some words of wisdom.

    (1) Get the extended so you don't have to be f€cking with keys. Extended/ported while you are at it.

    (2) Don't get lulled into thinking that you need more chokes. You may want them, but probably not need them.

    A good shot is a good shot. When you are shooting well, it doesn't matter if you have a turkey choke or skeet.

    I see lads showing up to the range with 10+ chokes and constantly fiddling with them. In the end, they cannot shoot and blame the choke. They missed it because, well, they missed, not because they have M instead of M.

    Don't get me wrong, I have a few extras like turkey and skeet that I use often. But at the range, the standard ones supplied with the shotgun will do.

    Which chokes do you have? All you really need is F, M, IC, and C. With that said, all I seem to use is F and Skeet. Full for trap and skeet, you guessed it, for skeet.

    Slan

    ah yeah, im not too fussed about them i have C IC M IM. i was thinking of getting another C and another M and maybe 2 F... 2 half(m) chokes will shoot anything i suppose so that and fulls for rangy stuff i was thinking:).

    i have cut down on chopping and changing cartridges, so if i get the half choke i reckon will try to stick to 2 halves and leave them in, thats the theory anyway:D........ till i start missing:rolleyes:

    I ordered a Turkey choke for the start of the Duck season :eek:

    just get yourself a quarter for the bottom barrel and a half choke for the top, in extended and ported and forget about the rest,then choose the right cartridge for the right occasion,

    I can see a difference when I shoot skeet through a skeet choke or an Extra Full for ducks along the Shannon.

    When it comes to trap, I cannot really tell the difference between M, C, or IC. It usually only matters what kind of a day I am having.


    As Tack said, a Turkey choke is about the tightest there is. Those birds have great eyesight.
