Title: What's the longest...
Post by: Stein on October 22, 2018, 03:20:05 PM: you have gone into duck season before you realized you still had your turkey choke in the gun? :o

Post by: Stein on October 23, 2018, 11:36:58 AM: Yeah, the percentage of hits went down, but I was thinking man these new shells I'm trying this year really put em away when I do hit one.

I'm just glad it wasn't a safety issue, I don't know how many turkey chokes are capable of taking steel shot.

Post by: Stein on October 25, 2018, 06:28:29 PM: I checked it out tonight, didn’t see any signs of damage and it screws in and out perfectly. It is an extended choke so that probably saves some pressure on the barrel.
