Yep 3/8 and 5/8. How did you find them in the old citori ? Nigel confirmed there are no lead shot or load size restrictions on them. Steel proof up to half choke. Suits my needs well for bigger game loads in lead over the Muller's. Pheasant shooting this weekend so will try them out if I have them by then. Fingers crosses

This chap goes for the day out and laugh with the guys. The money doesn't really motivate him however he gets it and wasn't sure what he needed to do. If it's a case of nothing and hmrc will alter his tax code and get it back via PAYE from his main work income that would definitely suit him.

Went down the Teague route. Spoke to Nigel via email today numerous times ... Top bloke. I don't think he had the chokes in stock I wanted but said they would only take one day to get. So I ordered a light mod and light improved mod in extended format. Will let you know when I get them

Hi bear-uk I think I am understanding. So because they are on PAYE no tax return needs to be submitted and HMRC will alter their tax code and take the tax on the beating income using their main job income ? Please bare with me if I am taking a load of balls.

Hi all, I do not profess to be any good with the legalities of tax and the likes which I why I wanted to get some feedback on the below statement. If someone who has a main job and is paid using PAYE but then goes beating and the shoot submit this data in rti they have yo submit a tax return ? YES As this is the first season he has been beating he wouldn't need to fill out a tax return as tax is calculated from April to April ? Correct ? So this seasons earnings would be submitted January 2015 for online submission of tax return?

Personally I don't shoot steel at all so I thought the Muller's would be okay. But at 75 quid each I'm not risking it ... Plus I love my browning and don't want to hurt my baby haha

Will do thank you derfley. I was more for the Muller's as they are black and not in your face so to speak.

New benelli ethos looks tempting if it comes in synthetic ..

Spoken to Jimmy Muller direct - 4s should not be used and nothing larger than 32g. No ETA on waterfowl / game chokes so that's me moving to another manufacturer. Thought I would let you know my findings

I recently nearly purchased some Muller featherlite chokes for my browning b725 sported however before I pressed that magical purchase button I came across a thread where jimmy Muller advises no shot bigger than 6 be put through them. I shoot sporting clays and game. Firing at least 2k game cartridges a year mostly in the 32g 5 configuration but sometimes 36g 4. Has anyone had any experience with putting heavy game loads through the featherlites?

How do U2's perform on high pheasant and long clays ?

Funny you should mention the maxus actually as I was planning on getting one. Took me a while to decide on U2 and U3 - im still leaning towards u1 and u2 but i think the tighter choke will suit game better.

He seems like a good guy from the things I have read. - I really want to give them a go as I shoot clays and game quite a bit but dont really want two separate chokes for the job. I wouldnt want to wait another 6 months for the waterfowl invector ds so may just buy the feather lites and see how they go. As you have them what are you currently running ? U2 and u3?

Although I just found another post where he says this - http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=312530 Seems he isn't very consistent

My problem would be I use RC and Gamebore cartridges which are continential shot sizes anyway and the fact I will be putting around 2k game rounds through them a year. Don't really want to shell out 75 quid a choke if they arent up to the pheasant job and additionally could it also damage the barrels if the choke malfunctions ?

Here is a thread where it is discussed - Luckily I found it before I ordered them : (Jimmy Muller, doesn't suggest anything bigger than 6's in the featherlites) http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=237&t=379820 And as he doesn't plan selling the waterfowl (hunting) chokes until the next season in the US it is going to be a long wait I suspect.

Just before I ordered them I wanted to check if they can be used for a variety of lead shot sizes as I do a lot of driven pheasant so want to be able to use them on that too. I believe the man himself "jimmy" does not advise going anything bigger than 6 lead through the clay chokes.... So that basically rules out Mullers as they do not do game chokes yet.

Decided on Muller's. Will be ordering u2 and u3

I've also been thinking about the a5 recently. I really like the Brownings with their autoload feature. If benelli had it I would purchase one in a flash

Thanks for the link. I think im going to go down the teague route.

Found them here : http://www.briley.com/browninginvectordschokes.aspx However I contacted the UK supplier and they didn't even know that they produced them...

Hi all I'm looking to purchase some aftermarket extended chokes for my 725 and want to know which manufacturer you recommend. I know briley teague and Muller now do the ds chokes but as I have never used any of them am seeking some advice. Thanks all.

Matone yes I checked and the extreme range are loaded with continental shot sizes

Will let you all know. Cartridge bag filled to the brim with hull high pheasant extremes for thursday. Let's get Xmas day over quickly haha

Went down the route of a slab of hull high pheasant extreme 32g 5's. I'm sure they will do the job through 1/2 3/4 choke. Thanks again for all the help all.
