Zimtrout Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Evening all, does anybody have any experience of Briley chokes, I am think of getting some for a Browning 16 gauge over and under. It takes Invector chokes and i would probably get extended versions. I shoot game in the main. Any thoughts or experience of them?? cheers ZT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmboy91 Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 I brought a flush Mobil half for my Beretta and it throws a nice pattern, I'd be interested to know how the extented perform to as I'd like a a pair of I/C for when I get back to clays.

Stonepark Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 For most cartridges the Briley aftermarket choke tends to throw patterns which are more regular and evenly distributed. I have Briley Mobil Extended IC and Light Mod in my 12 OU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Merkel Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 I use spectrum chokes in my blaser and have no issues but I dont find they have any advantage over flush fitting chokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 The advantage is easier to check tight and to change, stops damage to ends of the barrels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they are massively more expensive than flush either, + in my opinion they look pretty smart too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 My son and I have used the Brileys in various forms for years. They really do throw nice patterns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make you right on that Figgy I was thinking is there a difference with the pattern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 I’ve used Bailey Optima flush chokes for the past 15 odd years and they’ve performed very well, they tend to throw true to the expected constriction and suit my personal preference of keeping the guns true lines intact, some seem to like the purposeful appearance the extended version offers and why not, they do offer the dubious advantage of being able to change them with hand pressure alone but again I personally prefer to carry and use a tool to give either type a gentle extra push. The thing that I found when a while back I bought 3 extended ones is that they seemed to make their presence (weight) known, oddly enough I had always thought that such tiny variations would be undetectable but I was wrong.

Zimtrout Posted January 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) Great advice lads. I have found this 16 to be a touch front or barrel heavy in terms of Ballance. It's a straight hand stock presumably lighter stock?? Once I have the chokes, extended or not..??? I intend on getting it balanced perfectly...
