Beretta Optima Chokes

[Maritime Storm]

Ducks; I agree with your good friend. A couple of times a year I leave the Benelli in the vault and take my bird gun with me to the range for a seasonal workout. Olga is a Baikal SXS IJ-58, choked Modified and Full, patterns a little tighter than marked with my target loads. Fits me like a glove, regulation is dead on at 40yrds. My score don't drop a target, but I get the same comments everytime, "Modified and Full, you'll never hit a target shooting skeet with that" or "The trap field is that way". The look on their face is worth the price of admittance. Most people worry too much over the unimportant things in this sport, the gun needs to fit, it needs to throw an even pattern where you're looking, and the recoil needs to manageable with your target loads. The rest are details, Donworryaboutit.

Just bought some Carlsons online from the USA. I think I paid $31 each. Hit 25/25 twice the other day, so I guess they work in my 686.

Sounds more like you know how to work with that 686.

Mullers are a less forgiving choke, there main pattern is excellent but they are don't have a lot of pellets in the surrounding area unlike Briley or Carlson which generally is a very forgiving choke. Muller is also probably the lightest choke on the market using so if your really worried about weighing down your barrels use a U2 instead of a U3. It also depends on style I would love a choke made of lead if it was strong enough more weight on my gun the better! I am a huge fan of Briley tubes but unfortunately Briley there a fairly well priced choke that throws a very forgiving and even pattern but they are hugely back ordered so you probably wont see anything from them for a while. As a good friend of mine says "spend the 200 bucks your about to spend on chokes and buy targets instead."

That's probably the most important part...
