browning123 Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 The Beretta chokes are very expensive and I was thinking of buying some Gemini flush chokes for my A400 light - can anyone advise what are they like compared to the Beretta chokes?

Gordon R Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Most chokes are very similar. There are plenty of cheap second-hand chokes on sale - get the cheapest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuPPeT_ON_TouR Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Yes chokes are similar.. like shoes are all similar because they go on your feet. Your pattern has an awful lot do to with the cartridge you use as well. If you are not going to pattern test your gun then don't waste your time as you will have no clue what a choke does on your gun or the carts you use. Chokes are full conical like Teague or conical and parallel like most others. If you want to **** with your head read this. http://www.chuckhawks.com/extended_chokes_patterns.htm Have fun. As far as I can tell full conical is best.. But I've not pattern tested my gun yet to tell so will give no advice on chokes.. other than to say stay clear unless you want to boggle your head.

Very few Optima HP flush chokes come up for sale second-hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browning123 Posted September 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Thanks lads but I'm fully aware what chokes do, pattern testing etc. My question is have any members had problems with Gemini chokes and are they worth buying as a substitute for the more expensive Beretta choke?

bostonmick Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 you do not say why you want different chokes,do you not have the full range or just want to try something else,in which case I would say don't waste your money the people who make the gun will design the chokes to work best with it.

I have Cyl, mod & full as supplied with the gun - I always tend to use 1/4 in an auto hence this is the one I require. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
