3 rounds of skeet tonight with the U0s fitted  :biggrin:
So come on Bryn! To quote the original question "are they as good as they claim to be"?

In other words, how did you get on?   :biggrin:

 
If he hasn't scored 74plus... I shall be shocked.

Not keeping score but consistently just over 20 in tricky, deteriorating conditions that brought everyone down to my level, probably averaged @21 but the clays were all over place, high house was either up in the air and one nose-dived just after the middle peg, low house either ballooned and stalled or ducked under the wind. I gave the lad a hand to set the traps about 5.30 but by 6.30 it was a different ball game.

Lovely breaks - more dust and less chips than I expected with more open chokes so I guess as far as a more even pattern goes its on the button, used the last of the remington 9s and went onto mirage T2 8s, seemed to be breaking them just as effectively in fact I just poured them into my pocket and used what came to hand  :crazy:

The real test will be how I do in the comp on Sunday, if I can improve on last weekend I'll be happy.

 
In defence of the chokes I got my first OU 12th April took it to get fitted on 22nd May and bought the 28" and had my first taste of skeet the same day. Had a Skeet lesson beginning of June when I collected the 30" and dropped off the 28" and got it back 20th June. Think that's 6 or 7 weeks since I first tried skeet.

 
Exploring aftermarket chokes for my gun after pattern testing with standard Browning Midas Inv+ chokes. Considering Muller Chokes – intrigued by their claims. Seeking genuine experiences from users, not just hearsay. EdSolomons would appreciate your insights on their performance and your custom specs.

Thanks!
 
You do realise that a choke is simply a tapered tube, don't you?

The only real variation in "performance" is in the weight and therefore how the balance and handling are affected.
It is how well they taper. The consistency and tolerances applied so they are the constriction they claim. That’s the magic….
 
On chokes
- first you have to ❤️ what you want
- second you have to trust what you want (you absorb all the commercial stuff do the internet research, do the pattern testing, shoot some clays…)
- third you have to trust what you got after you got what you convinced yourself what you want 😜

If Mullers are what you came out with at the end they are the best there are 🍻

I have my factory K80 chokes and they might be just as good as my Teagues - but I like and trust them Teagues better - same goes with cartridges - like them, trust them, shoot them 💪

Well yes. I too use Teague. My personal preference too.

But a lot of fans for Muller so interested.
 
It’s a tube machined to +\- tolerances in a factory , inserted into a gun barrel made to +\- tolerances in a factory . It might or might not print and approximation of a designated ckoke percentage on a static bit of card using one or more specific cartridges . After that it’s how much you value smoke and mirrors . I doubt many people have their chokes regulated to throw the pattern they want with the cartridge they use . If they do they are probably game shooters using best and high end guns .,

But it’s how good those tolerances are surely? Many stories of factory chokes being way out for example. So if Muller have done it well then they may be very good?
 
There’s the problem , I don’t think there’s a benefit , you do , let’s think about this , if Beretta the biggest arms manufacturer in the world can’t make a choke that suits their guns , no one can . What I would say is people buy chokes for many reasons sone valid some not . If a few top shooter use brand x there is a halo effect . Some like coloured anodised rings for quick reference . Some believe in wad stripping ports etc . Myself I’ve bought two ( used ) extended Teague Ti chokes to protect the muzzle of my game gun if I stand it on my boot, They kill pheasants , but so did the ones that came in the box .

What I would say is if you fancy trying Mullers , they’re always for sale on Just Chokes Facebook group . Buy them used for £50 or £60 each , then if you like them fine you’ve saved a few bob , if you don’t put them back up for sale and you won’t lose a penny . I’ve bought a few chokes off that website ,
 
You never know which supplier builds choke tubes for which Company.
So there might be a good Chance that you replace a Briley with a Briley or a Gemini with a Gemini.
But all in all it is not rocket science.
