debo Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hi does Anybody know where I can get some chokes and a choke key for my hatsan escort. I have only got 1 choke and that's the 1/2 choke that's stuck in there at the moment thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterwolf Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) Contact your local dealer who is a distributer ... They'll have to order it in for you. Find A Dealer Edited February 20, 2012 by Winterwolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I got mine from the RFD who I bought the gun from - SportsmanGuncentre, Exeter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spara Dritto Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Did anyone else find Escort chokes pattern a lot tighter than other guns? When I had one, half choke with fiber wads use to dust clays like my 3/4 Optima choke with plastic wad does... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon123 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Go to your local RDF mate, should be able to order some in for you. Did anyone else find Escort chokes pattern a lot tighter than other guns? When I had one, half choke with fiber wads use to dust clays like my 3/4 Optima choke with plastic wad does... I have noticed this as well mate, whilst shooting pigeons and crows down the farm i had the 1/2 in the hatsan and two halves in the o/u. Was shooting with the Hatsan to start with and could'nt hardly hit anything, then using the same cart's in the o/u and was dropping them like fly's around the place. Then popped home put the 1/4 choke in the semi and went back down the farm and using the same carts, i was dropping them everywere and further then what i was able to do with the o/u. Also noticed when using the gun on some clays when i started by using 1/2 choke and was hitting the long clays but struggled at close range, but i then decided to change the choke to 1/4, and what a difference, i was dusting most of the clays long and short, (human error was the reason i missed some) I do agree with you about the chokes being tighter than what their supposed to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is only so much graduation you can get in the end of a barrel just the same, so most manufacturers are "similar"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
