TRINITY Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 Recently bought a browning with 4 midas chokes. Just looking to buy another and I read they throw tighter patterns than invector plus and spin the shot through an helical coil. Anyone know if this is true or just marketing bull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 They certainly don’t spin the shot … Below from Browning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRINITY Posted October 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 There you are smoker, never heard of that before. Bit gob smacked when I read it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 How does a choke at the end of a tube reduce the amount of plastic fouling in the barrel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 It looks like the ‘spreader’ choke may be rifles then … but not the mainstream tubes. This is the type of thing they use on the Continent for Woodcock etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny English Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 I believe the midas chokes are slight tighter than standard invector plus. They are made by briley as I belive the standard ones are as well, but the midas are built to briley spec not browning. Standard chokes are gauged from the choke inlet, midas are gauged from the barrel bore. In effect midas should be about 10 thou tighter than standard chokes.

My old 525 came with 4 standard chokes, 1/4 1/2 3/4 full. The new 525 with midas is skeet, 1/4 1/2 3/4. Seems like browning have adjusted their standard choke selection to adjust to tighter patterns.

vmaxphil Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 The point of multi chokes is so you can tune your gun with your chosen cartridge at the pattern density you require at your chosen distance, what it says on the choke is only a guide and starting point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
