    Recenty purchased a winchester supergrade shotgun second hand,

    It comes with a skeet choke and a modified choke(i think)

    Anyone know what brands of chokes will fit winchester guns?

    Looking to do a bit of clay shooting with it too and want to try different chokes to see what suits my needs best.

    Found good info on the carlsons, thanks

    Seems theyre not too expensive to buy them instead of the winchokes I have.

    I have skeet and improved modified. it seems.

    What would these be like for a combination of clays, decoying, and game shootign?

    Its a bit of an odd set of chokes you have, I wonder did the previous owner lose some.
    You tend to set up a gun with the following choke combo:

    Clays:
    Sporting Clays : - Skeet / Improved Cylinder or Improved Cylinder / Mod
    DTL : - Mod / Improved Mod or Mod / Full,

    Game / Birds
    Decoying :- Skeet / Improved Cylinder or Improved Cylinder / Mod
    Flight Shooting:- Mod / Improved Mod or Mod / Full or Improved
    Mod / Full (high birds)
    Rough Shooting:- Improved Cylinder / Mod or Mod / Improved Mod or Mod / Full or Improved


    Lads will tell you not to worry to much about chokes and they are right to a certain extent, but if you shooting extremes of disciplines you will notice a advantage to having the right chokes.
    If I lie or exaggerate, then ask them why champion skeet shooters use skeet chokes and DTL shooters dedicated trap guns and why thousand of pigeons are decoyed by the ordinary joe soap with open chokes and like wise geese are downed with tight chokes.

    For general shooting I would recommend Improved Cylinder / Mod or Mod / Improved Mod, then get out and pattern the gun with various shells (makes and weights) to determine your best set up for you and your shooting
