goldeneye243 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I am thinking about getting 3 extended chokes for my semi auto and just wondering what peoples opinions are as to what I should get. My current thinking is - IC - Mainly for use when I am wildfowling using steel shot (effectively a modified) LM - I really like light modified and that is the choke that tends to get the most time in the gun. I like to use it for decoying and on clays. M - For roost shooting where the birds are a bit further away. I was thinking that they are all a bit close to each other though - Would I be better off with an IM for roost shooting? Decisions decisions....

mickmep Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 personally i'd go skeet light mod improved mod for sporting/rough i use light mod for pretty much everything but when on the clays take the skeet and improved mod in case theres a pair that are close or far away.

Dekers Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 We all use different because we are all different and shoot different things, mine tends to live with 1/2 and gets a skeet in it when I do skeet. I don't think you should lose too much sleep over it, what do you use most at the moment? Why extended, if you already have chokes you are using I struggle to believe you will notice any difference with extended ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sx3 clay breaker Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 1/4 1/5 and 3/4 or full Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P~MX Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'd go Cyl, 1/4, 3/8 or if you don't shoot anythin close drop the Cyl and add in 1/2 -- you'll not need anythin tighter unless your shootin geese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 How good a shot are you?, honestly. If not very good then Imp Cyl and 1/2. If average then 1/4 + 1/2 or 3/4. I shoot pheasants out to about 60 yards using mainly 1/4 and 1/2, geese and shooting in a high wind get the tighter 1/2 + 3/4 set of tubes. 30gr of 5s in those chokes will kill cleanly out to over 40 yards on pheasants and rabbits. Geese get bigger shot. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
