Hi lads

 

I have just got my first shotgun. Its a beretta silver pigeon s with 31/2 chambers and 30'' barrels. I dont, however, have a clue about the choke markings eg. * ** *** or what size spread they represent. I would be gratefull if antone could spread some light on this for me.

 

Cheers guys

Here you go:

 

Beretta chokes are labelled using the continental names so what they call 'Improved Cylinder' is really 1/4, 'Cylinder' is Improved Cylinder and Skeet is (true) Cylinder.

 

Notches		British  		Beretta Marking
----------------------------------------------------------
	True cylinder 		Skeet (SK)
*****		Improved cylinder	Cylinder (CL)
****		1/4			Improved cylinder (IC)
***		1/2			Modified (M)
**		3/4 			Improved modified (IM)
*		Full 			Full (F)

aaah that's cleared up something in my head - there was me thinking my Skeet choke was a negative (trumpet) cylinder as i also have a Beretta 'cylinder' one. ta!

 

In actual fact I've found that even the Beretta Skeet choke (English True Cylinder) has a tiny bit of choke compared to nominal 12 gauge diameter.
