Vang Comp System or PatterMaster Choke tube. Which works better?

Bennett Richards · January 5, 2000, 06:56 PM

I was just wondering if anyone out there had actually compared the Vang Comp & the PatternMaster system to see which worked better and gave the tightest groups with Buckshot.. can both use slugs etc...?

Thanks,

Ben

Heck, other than the additional cost, why not use both?

I have not compared the two systems in the same gun. However, I have have taken several shotgun classes where shooters have had the Vang Comp system fitted. I can tell you that my Benelli M1 - with Patternmaster - groups as tight or tighter than any of the VC'd guns I've seen on the line. All 9 pellets of Federal's Tactical 00 Buck are in 5" at 25 yards. Great system.

John,

What about shooting slugs with a patternMaster?

Who markets the PatternMaster choke tube? Or who is the manufacture?

www.patternmaster.com

I decided to go with the VangComp as I heard too many tales of Patternmasters flying downrange or shooting loose. With Vang there are no parts to worry about.

Ben we will go shooting if I ever get my auto back. Have my 870 but still waiting for the M1.

Oberdude,
I think I made the right choice... Just the thought of those choke tabs protruding into the barrel and a slug tearing by them at 1500+fps gave me a bad feeling about the Patternmaster. I am SURE it's fantastic for Shot nad buck... and I might have felt different if my 870 had been already RemChoked... But Vang is a long proven and simple system. When I get it back it's going to Dan at Tactical Weaponry for an Olive Drab Moly finish.. Have you talked with him yet?
