louis682 Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I have ordered a new gun and have been told that its better to get the choking done in this country rather than the factory. Has anyone got a preference to one or the other, or is there nothing in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaserF3 Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 There are guns out there that do not shoot/pattern where you look, the best thing to do is pattern a new gun. If the patterns do not overlap, you will be better off taking it back to the shop. I know of three guns that were choked after purchase and shot off center.

I know of three guns that were choked after purchase and shot off center. interesting. i'd be patterning it at the factory itself. so i'm sure it will be right. so if all correct then its ok to go ahead and get it multi choked? I'm also concerned that this will invalidate the warrenty...but that's a question for the dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One bit of information that you are not supplying - What are you ordering gun wise ? is it a model available with multichokes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a perazzi mx2000s. I did ask the question about the factory fitted option but was advised against it and to do it in this country?

Emmsy Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 personally i would have the perazzi multis just because the barrels would be heavier than reworked fixed tubes. as for teagues ive had them in several guns, one of which the patterns in top and bottom tubes shot in different place. cant be sure if its the gun or the chokes fault as i never tested it beforehand. the teagues in my MX8 pattern in the same spot.

Gordon R Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I'm with Mike on this. If I bought a new - non-multichoke - gun, I would pattern it first to check it shot where it should. If you subsequently have it done by Teague or Briley - and it doesn't shoot in the right place - you have the basis of an argument. If you just buy a new gun, get it done and it doesn't pattern properly, I'm not convinced the manufacturer would hold up their hands. I think they would be pointing a finger at the choke engineers. I still think it's safer to get the multi-choked option. Someone like Teague could always supply aftermarket chokes, if you were not happy with Perazzi chokes.

BlaserF3 Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 If the gun comes from the factory with multichokes everything apart from the wood work will be covered under warranty. If you have it choked afterwards I would imagine your factory warranty would be invalid. If you are buying a Perazzi why not go to Italy and make sure that all is well, I thought this came as part of the purchase proccess.

Canis Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 It's a perazzi mx2000s. I did ask the question about the factory fitted option but was advised against it and to do it in this country? On what grounds where you recommended to choose a fixed choke gun and have it multichoked? is the Perazzi only available with really short choke tube and you want longer choke tubes or something like that ? My B25 is teagued and if i ever bought another B25 that had not been done yet i would teague it again immediately. On a B25 though multichokes are not available as a factory option,so if you want a multichoke belgian browning you dont have a choice! I had really good customer service from Nigel Teague by the way . Still interested to know what the percieved benefit of retrofit chokes into a fixed choke barrel rather that factory fit multichoke is supposed to be.

louis682 Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I was advised this by the dealer and he mentioned that perazzi barrels are perfectly balanced for fixed choke but not that of multi because their chokes tend to be heavy. I really don't think I'd notice this too much. So after the comments you have made perhaps I will have this factory option. It's probably another extra!

louis682 Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 And yes I will be going to italy. I thought Id beter get someone elses advice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambhat Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I've one that's got Perazzi factory chokes and one with Brileys, and I think the Brileys are better. I don't think the weight makes much of a difference. The Brileys are lighter than the factory chokes, but only by a few tens of grams. If that made a difference to you, you could have some weight taken out of the stock to re-balance it. Perazzi's fixed chokes give fantastic patterns. Sorry for throwing another option in, but my suggestion would be to order the barrels with fixed choke at the widest you think you're normally going to want to use, try them when they arrive, and if they don't work for you then get after-market chokes fitted.

HDAV Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) Surely you can just order a multichoke MX2000 and then buy a set of Teagues for it? Buying a brand new fixed choke gun then taking it for an aftermarket adjustment seems counter intuitive? I know a guy who has a perazzi and had a custom stock cut for it not sure about the tubes tho Edited June 1, 2011 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
