Aftermarket Chokes for Waterfowl Hunting
«

Hey guys. I have a Benelli M2 and a Ruger Redlabel. I've been thinking about trying out some aftermarket chokes for them. I hunt ducks mostly. I'd say that I hunt over decoys just as much as I jump shoot them. Alot of these aftermarket chokes for steel shot are labeled decoy, pass, goose, etc. Could you guys point me in the right direction for a choke that works best in both hunting situations? Have any of you used these types of chokes and been pleased/dissapointed? I shoot BB and #2 shot and just want a good consistent pattern between 20 and 50 yards.

I use Mod.,SK#2(a weak MOD.) and IC flush mounted, choke tubes for the waterfowl hunting I do with my two O/U's. Remember, steel shot generally patterns one constriction tighter than lead; so the Mod. and IC choke tubes I primarily shoot with steel are pretty close to Full and Mod. choke tubes with lead. With my pumps, I use a Mod. choke tube.
I recommend TruLock chokes, highly and they give a discount to NRA members:

take a look at pattern master chokes. i've shot them for a long time and really like the way they perform. They are a little on the pricier side but worth it.

I have tried several after market chokes, Pattern Masters, Brileys, Kicks. I am currently using a Kicks Pass Shooting choke in my Benelli SBEII. It has a nice tight pattern.

I was looking at Kicks choke tubes today on the net and noticed they offer IC, Modified, Full and X-Full.
Now ive always been told not to shoot steel through full chokes. Does this still apply when it comes to aftermarket choke tubes like these kicks high flyers?

Carlson's choke tubes.The extended tubes are screw in with your fingers and have a great pattern.For wild birds I shoot an extra full and a full choke(Full choke first of course).I also use these on Ducks with steel shot down to B.B with great effect.
But You better be on the target or its a clean miss.
I have Briley and Crlson's choke tubes and perfer My Carlson's.
Got to just spend a few bucks and have a collection of tubes and know how they pattern with the shot You are shooting.
