Teague chokes

[GB79]

Are Teague chokes worth buying rather than using Browning Invector ds, like the idea of 3/8.

I’m a big fan of Teague, but then I also am of Briley and Muller. 
I doubt any would be as popular as they undoubtedly are if they didn’t perform. 
I think 3/8th is also the best all round choke for live quarry of any description, and my Teague 3/8ths throw superb patterns, but so do the Brileys. After that it’s down to cartridge preference. 
Not helpful I know, but that’s my experience. 🙂

Thanks for the reply, lots of people on you tube use teague, and a lot are using 3/8, but you never know if there's a bit of sponsorship going on, I've had one person say don't bother with Teague.

Can't comment on 'relative performance' of the chokes as my gun was 'Teagued' by a previous owner before I bought it.  It performs fine as far as I can tell.  What I can say is that;

1. I have had no problems at all with the chokes (sticking, crossed threads, damage etc.)
2. When I did get in touch with Teague to get an additional choke tube, they were very quick and efficient to deal with
3. I believe that they are now part of the Westley Richards business.

Short answer - yes. 

Longer answer. I have used them in Browning shot guns for probably 20 yrs and have been seriously impressed by the pattern quality. In fact the quality of the pattern allows you to go down a choke constriction - and have the advantage of a wider pattern but with a good even shot distribution (if that makes sense). I have found the Teague half choke like using 3/4. I nick named it ‘the long range assassin’. Just a bit of silly fun, but it makes a point. Re cost, it’s an expensive indulgence by the time you buy their dedicated choke key also, but who ever said shooting was a cheap sport…….?! BTW I’m not sponsored, wish I was……. 🙂

Can't beat Teague for product quality and service. Second to none.

I just happen to have a 3/8 and a 5/8 teague super extended pair of chokes for sale as I have changed gun, I must say that I was very impressed with the breaks whilst using them

Which gun/model do they fit?

Forgive my ignorance but do companies such as Teague make chokes to fit older systems like Browning invector for example and if so what would be the advantages. Thank you.

You could always ask them...

You are correct. I could but with all of the knowledge on here. I would like unbiased opinions from shooters who may have purchased and used such products.

In short yes. Advantages are various: conical continuous taper, they are closer to the gun’s barrel diameter than factory chokes - i.e less of a step from barrel to choke and they are exactly per choke designation. Basically you get what you pay for in chokes. Usually those supplied with a gun (not always) are made to a lesser standard to cut costs. Does it matter as much as we think? Probably not. However would some of us like to have any advantage we can grab, what ever it is? Definitely.

Thank you for that, very informative.
