More a rant than anything....
I can't believe there are so many dealers, who don't stock extra chokes for the shotguns they sell. I have been looking for some Browning Invector Plus extended chokes, but have only found 2 dealers in Canada with anything much to offer. Shipping makes some of those prohibitive. I visited Sail, Cabela's, Bass Pro, Al Faherty's, and a couple others. Have checked many many dealers online, including CGN business partners. Al Flaherty's had some, but sold out quick. I missed out, and no known restocking date. These dealers all sell Browning shotguns, but very few keep any Browning chokes in stock. Mostly only extra full turkey, water fowl, or coyote chokes.

Maybe it's just a sign of the times, and they can't get stock, but even asking in many stores the answer was 'no, we don't sell the factory chokes.'

Are there any dealers that carry a good selection of Browning chokes? Maybe dealer that doesn't have a big online presence?

They likely arent big sellers. Most who want extra chokes buy aftermarket chokes. Waterfowl and turkey chokes are the most common as they dont come standard. That said most of my chokes come from als corner store or ellwood epps. The rest come from cabelas and local shops.
Wtb add in the ee could work as well
 
Funny I was just on the hunt for a choke as well ! I am looking for a 20ga choke so even harder to track down I googled till my computer begged me to stop but to no avail. I ended up having to talk to a local store and just get one ordered in so now the waiting game.
 
If Trulock choke strikes your fancy I have had no difficulty in ordering direct from their office in GA USA. Recent Order wait time was 4 weeks, With no duty or GST charged, when parcel received in post office.
 
Special Ordered my Briley chokes thru Brownells. It was easier and cheaper then trying to deal with gun stores up here.

I checked all the above noted dealers, with no luck. No one had stock of any Midas or Diana grade Browning chokes in the sizes I wanted. I did find one in a non-CGN dealer in N.B. Had to call, as their shipping indicated over $40 for shipping. They advised their actual shipping would be much less, so put in an order and it should be on the way.

Thanks for the suggestions.

factory chokes aren't a big seller, most people dont use'em, they leave them in the box and buy quality aftermarket chokes, doesn't make much sense to stock something that doesn't sell.
 
Drove 1.5 hours to Epps, and they didn't have what was on their website. They told me once they get down to 1 or 2 showing, it's questionable if they have stock. I did pick up a couple there, but not everything I wanted.
