Vipa Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 now that ive decided im going to get a silver pigeon s ive got to decide whether to go for the multichoke version or fixed choke version, what would you go for? lowlander Personally, even though I have never changed my chokes from the 1/4 & 1/2 I put in when I got it I would still always go for multi just because, in the long run, it gives you more flexibility (albeit with a little more work on the maintainance & cleaning side of things) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 yep go multi, though if you are looking second hand and the right deal comes up for a game gun either 1/4 and 1/2 or 1/2 and 3/4 really will be fine. I also can't remember last time I changed chokes in a gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlander Posted June 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 thinking about it i would prefer the multichoke version, but i think that 1/2 and 1/4 would cover everything im going to use it for, also the fixed choke model is 200 quid cheaper than the multichoke one i really dont know which to go for lowlander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never change the chokes in the ones that are to be honest but at least you have the choice, but I have had chokes come loose which is something to keep your eye on. This doesn't happen with fixed chokes. A multichoke gun will retain the extra paid so isnt any dearer when you come to sell one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosd Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 thinking about it i would prefer the multichoke version, but i think that 1/2 and 1/4 would cover everything im going to use it for, also the fixed choke model is 200 quid cheaper than the multichoke one i really dont know which to go for lowlander What about resale value? Do they still fetch 200 difference between the two? If the multichoke doesnt hold the difference in value second hand and you are happy with the fixed choke then don't throw your money away. If they do hold the same difference in value second hand and you have the spare cash then go for the multichoke so you have the option to change the chokes in the event you want to try something different.

rangey Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 thinking about it i would prefer the multichoke version, but i think that 1/2 and 1/4 would cover everything im going to use it for, also the fixed choke model is 200 quid cheaper than the multichoke one i really dont know which to go for lowlander most of my guns ive had have been multi choke but like most people i never bother changing them,always use 1/4 and 1/2 so i eventually bought a fixed choke mcnab highlander 1/4 and 1/2.for £200 cheaper i would go for fixed choke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrwood Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Definately multi. Always good to have the choice and it doesn't matter if you never change them. At least you can if you want. When I'm doing clays I will change chokes to shoot sporting or skeet. Also when I go shooting I'll use 1/4 and 1/2 for pigeon and 1/2 and 3/4 for crows as they seem to be a little higher and need a denser pattern. At least with a multi you got the option, even of you never bother with changing them Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Why would you need to think about this? A multichoke can do everything a fixed can and a lot more, you can also get extenders as well if you want! :yp: Multi, every time! ATB!!

wymberley Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Hi, Won't comment on which as it's really personal choice. A calculator and simple maths will show that going up one choke step for left/top barrel achieves very little (1 1/8oz No. 6 is just an extra 15 pellets); IMHO, 2 steps is better.
