Westley Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 hi all i bought a 12G shotgun not long ago and it came with some Mandel extended choke 1/2 & 1/4 dose anyone one no if they are any good or not If someone was to tell you that they are rubbish, you will probably blame the chokes every time you missed something. YOU are using the gun, just shoot them and make your OWN mind up as to how they perform. Find a cartridge that suits the gun, the chokes and of course, your pocket and just shoot it. Over time, you will tell if the chokes are performing as you expect them to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 I saw some early examples and the finish did not appear to be top class, but more recent versions seem fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aga man Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 (edited) I have mandel chokes fitted to my old bettinsoli. they are 1/4 and 1/2. They pattern very well and mine have had many thousands of shells through them with no problems. Killed many pigeons too. I would recommend them. If you are in doubt pattern some no7 loads through the 1/2 choke at 40 yds, nice dense pattern i find.

BerettaSV10 Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 I use them, and they do the job, at a lot cheaper price than some of the names in chokes. The guy at Mandel I spoke to was very helpful when I was looking for chokes for one of my guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuji Shooter Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 They are CNC machined, how bad can they be in this day and age with modern manufacturing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catamong Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 If the quality of his chokes is as poor as his marketing skills, I'd be careful.. I phoned him with a query re new chokes, (twice), e-mailed him as well, but never got the courtesy of a reply. Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
