OJW Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Im new to using a multi choke, so haven't had to worry about chokes in the past. Please can anyone advise on the following: What is the difference between Long and Short chokes? What are peoples views on the flush Teauges? As I have found loads on the merits of extended but not so much on flush. Im defiantly after flush chokes, not extended. My passion is game, but I shoot a fair amount of clays, keep the 1/2 and 3/4 chokes in for clays as well for consistency. I shoot a Guerini Maxum. I'm not sure what the factory defaults are as its with the gunsmiths for the next 6 weeks. http://www.teagueprecisionchokesltdshop.co.uk/store/Caesar-Guerini.html Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westward Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I've used Teague chokes for years, both extended & flush. Couldn't tell any difference between them when shooting clays or on the pattern board. I think the 2 types in your link are for different generations of Guerini but other than that choose whichever style you prefer - there are no better chokes available.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I admire your defiance, the longer the choke the more gradual the constriction and the better the pattern that it will throw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJW Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I don't think its aesthetics as the chokes not on display. If you mean why do I want flush instead of extended, then yea, aesthetics. If longer chokes produce a more gradual pattern, further then why aren't al chokes long? Spose for skeet ect your open anyway so it wouldn't matter much.

Gordon R Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 When Teague started making chokes, they were designed as flush fitting, so no-one would know you had chokes. Extended chokes are easier to remove, but have become a fashion accessory - with porting and coloured bands, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berettacocker Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I used extended Teagues, very good and pretty! Have used Extended ported Brileys, very good and pretty, also very dirty!! Extended or flush fitting very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panoma1 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Apparently extended chokes are more likely to sustain any damage (bulging) occurring from using big steel shot, whereas flush chokes if similarly damaged........will beggar (bulge) the guns barrels too?

That's the theory but Nigel has extensively tested choke profiles and has empirical results that might surprise you. I've only done limited testing but I could not tell from the patterns which type (extended or flush) was in the gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJW Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Flush long chokes just sound better, so if thats the case why would any one want to bother making a flush short choke? Also, If I buy the chokes do I have to buy the teauge key or will my normal Guerini choke key work with them?

Nobody can, shooting is full of old wives tales and not a little marketing hype, as we know choke is a measurement of performance so a short half choke is meant to throw exactly the same percentage (60%) as a long, ported or extended wad grabbing whatever. If gradual taper had any measurable affect on the quality of the patterns either on paper or on the target then someone would have made barrels that tapered down gradually immediately in front of the chamber !

Well to be hones, you buy the chokes which fit your gun. some guns have long flush chokes as standard and some have short flush chokes as standard (THESE ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE !!) So, make sure that you buy the correct chokes for your gun !!! Edited May 14, 2014 by Simon123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
