Fabhui Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 As I keep mentioning on my other threads I'm new to the shotgunning world so bear with me on this..... I recently got myself a very nice Winchester 101 XTR Sporter that I'm really happy with but I'm also wanting to get myself a non-expensive pump action (under £200) as I can't think of anything more fun than a pump action. Anyway, I have to say I much prefer the look of wood and metal pump actions as opposed to those of the synthetic variety but most in my price bracket all seem to be cylinder choked (no choke at all). So my question is whether or not a pump action that is cylinder choked would be any good for shooting clays?? Thanks for any info and help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sishyplops Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 As long as they are close, ie under 35 yds I would suggest, someone will be along in a minute saying that they powder clays at a mile and a qtr with cyl chokes no doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throdgrain Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 I used to be changing chokes all the time. Then a few years ago I bought a Remington 1100 with a fixed skeet choke. Can't say I noticed much difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEd85 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Nice short barrel on mine with cylinder choke and I do fine on all the stands including the high tower. Its effective enough to have fun at a clay ground but if I was competing against a mate for bragging rights I would take the Beretta!

Dekers Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 If you point it in the right place it will work fine as cylinder. What is your primary intended use, you mention clays, for sure people use a pump for clays but it would not be on my list if that was the primary use!
