tomtommckinnon Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Hello all i also got myself a new synethetic stock 3'' escort magnum for £320 just yesterday as my first gun and was wondering what choke you would recommend for all round shooting? i was thinking the Modified 0.020" (0.50mm) Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I use a half choke in my Escort. But, I only use it for shooting crows/pigeons over crops. When I had a Beretta 303 for clay shooting, I used a three quarter choke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soreshoulder Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 they dont make alot of difference youve still got to put the lead in the right place, i took a look at my gramps gun and he had, full choke in the top, and open in the bottom and he thought he had 3/4 and 1/2 so they cant be that noticable, but for all round i would say 1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastSussexLad Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I only recently got a new escort and have only used MOD. Seems to be a good alrounder :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I use half for every thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richie76 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 The better shot you are the tighter the choke can be. i'm quite new to shotguns, so i use open and 3/4 for everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinxy72 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 The better shot you are the tighter the choke can be. i'm quite new to shotguns, so i use open and 3/4 for everything think u got it wrong way round m8 . . . 3/4 is very tight choke ! .... tightest i ever use is 1/2 ! .... good starting point is either skeet and 1/4 (depending on ground) or the more universally 1/4 and 1/2. ..... if using a single barrel i would go for a 1/4 choke and see how u go :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
