Peter De La Mare Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 No, unless you count ease of removal/installation and the undoubted cool looks as beneficial. I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenhunter Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Don't extended chokes produce better shot patterns as the cone is longer and deforms the shot less. this means fewer 'fly-away' pellets, more staying in the center of the pattern. Ported, extended = less recoil( so I,m told) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an extended (not ported) choke on my 319 and its better on clays with it than without it, especially on the longer shots. Or maybe its just a confidence thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casts_by_fly Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 the only time I see a functional need for extended chokes is when you want a super dense pattern at extended range. If you are shooting turkey chokes or want super tight patterns of buckshot, then the extended chokes can help. Extended chokes on their own don't mean a tighter choke, but a well designed extended choke can help a lot in special situations. Keep in mind I'm talking about 75% patterns at 60 yards with 2 oz loads of #5. Not your typical situation. Thanks Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmaxphil Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 i only use extended chokes to save the end of the barrels if the unthinkable was to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
