What choke tube does everyone use

I use on my sbe 2 vortex full choke
On my browning: Brownings waterfowl grand passage full choke tubes

I have a Carlson choke for my sbe 2 and a kicks x full for my 870.

Whatever comes with the shotgun. Not buying aftermarket chokes.

X2.

Which reminds me, I need to take the Imp choke out from shooting trap and put the Mod back in for birding this fall.

Damn ya'll shoot some tight chokes. I shoot a Briley Diffusion choke most of the time. It's a rifled spreader choke. I always shoot over decoys though.

Carlsons Black Cloud chokes

mid range for puddlers
long range for seaducks and geese

This exactly.

And fwiw, their black cloud, blindside, and even their sporting clays chokes are the same choke tube with a different name. I usually just use the long range choke for ducks and geese. Bought a close range one for ducks this year so I don't tear them to pieces.

Carlson mid range.

What ever is in the gun but when I get my new shotgun I'm getting a Patternmaster Long Range.

I bought the Carlson's extended waterfowler set with close, mid, and full after my factory chokes were stolen by Customs agents.

I use a HeviShot mid range for waterfowl. It patterns really well. For turkey I use a Hevi-Shot tube with Hevi-13 shot, nothing else comes close to patterning as well.

Black cloud mid range or my factory skeet choke.

Factory chokes.

IC, LM, M from Wilson Precision, their valu line chokes

Hevi-shot mid range works great out of my gun. The factory tubes weren't bad, but the Hevi-shot stays tight all the way to 40 yards.

Kicks high flyer full with kent 3 inch 3s at 1560fps

Carlson extended modified

There's a factory IC stuck in my 20ga Montefeltro and a factory MOD that's split lengthwise stuck in my SBE. If this old computer wasn't too screwed up to do much with photos, I'd take a shot of the SBE's barrel, which is no longer concentric after giving split choke removal the old college try with an easy out. Some might get a kick out of that. But it still does its part when I do mine.

THIS ^^^^^^^^^ used to be me.

I have seen the light.

All choke tubes are not created equal.

Your new shotgun will be cursed, if you're not careful. I'll put the whammy on it.

Luckily my boy Jarbo done hooked me up with an extended tube for my silver mallard


All better now!

AT, don't you put that on me Ricky, don't you put that on me!


No curses will be tolerated

Choke tubes are no laughing matter with TSA agents, I can tell you that.

Howls of derisive laughter. He named his new gun "Pintail," you can't touch it.

Don't make me do it, Rick. I'll send a whammy out there, and TK and Jarbo will be upset with me. I've got a yard full of chickens....

EASY buddy. I am going to do my best to put you in front of some ducks holding this new gun. You better say a voodoo prayer of good luck to this shooting iron.

I would love to see you get your first sprig with it.

I don't believe in that superstitious nonsense. But I'm out, they're on their own.

I told you, no way. My 870 would divorce me if I shot a sprig with a borrowed shooting iron. We're in this together for the long haul.

Your 870 ain't willing to be "sister-wives" with another?
