Midas Vs Teague

Morning 

Has anyone patterned comparative chokes in these 2 options? 
Wondering if there is any discernible difference before I spend another £300+
 

Cheers

My take on this is that you’ll spend that three hundred to only there-after wonder for evermore if there isn’t a five hundred option that will solve a non-existent problem. 
 
No 90+ shooter I know has ever stated he couldn’t shoot if it weren’t for the magic of his chokes. That’s my 2cents, it’s your 300 quid

Apart from weight no, pattern them and pick the best 

 

[MartynB]

Personally I wouldn’t even do that . Pick the one that looks best in the end of your gun . Even if you went to the trouble of shooting both brands with you usual cartridge , it will mean nothing when lead shot is banned and you move over to iron …

you trust your maker of your chosen gun to give you a product that will be reliable and give you all that you want in terms of performance yet you do not seem to have confidence that they can produce chokes to go with it to produce the best from the gun.

If you want to spend hundreds of pounds on chokes knock yourself out. It’ll make absolutely no difference though.

They are all a piece of pipe with different size hole in it.

I've shot normal invector plus, midas, briley, carlson, teagues, optima hp, invector ds. All have done exactly the same job at the target, just been a difference in weight and appearance. Don't get tricked into thinking one breaks targets better than another.

Can't comment on browning chokes,  but I have  a Cesar geurini summit ascent and the chokes that are with it absolutely smokes clays, for example the light mod seems to hit as hard at 40 yards as 20 yards. Really does powder them.

One of the most sensible posts I’ve seen on this forum for a long while

I’ve changed choke brand in mine for reasons of weight. I’m not even going to bother patterning them.

If you need a sock to put some lead weights in, I have a spare one  !

Very kind. But I was reducing weight, so my gun is going barefoot.

No problem,  I'm still waiting for Ben to go to his shed  !

You won't need a full set of chokes remember the lead shot ban only up to half is all you need 

And yes I can confirm that teague chokes do pattern better than factory ones but you need to get the right cartridges to suit

But isn't that the same for all chokes

 

[Browning xs]

Yes

By that logic, doesn’t that just imply you weren’t shooting the right cartridge for the factory chokes? I’m tempted to ask by what standard of comparison testing you can confirm any one chokes is “ better” but then I’d also have to ask what measurable difference it truly makes, which would beg the question of whether you truly break more clays with one brand vs another, and then we’re back at the original post. I’m with BostonMick and many others on this. They’re tapering tubes with threads.

So to summarise the answer is no, no one has tested them back to back.
