Skeet and Cylinder Chokes

almtiba · September 25, 2006, 02:46 PM

Hi,

Is there much difference between the skeet and cylinder chokes ?

I have a Beretta S682, and I'm using it for skeet, with Cylinder chokes (5 notches) in each barrel.

Can it be considered a negative handicap, comparing to the skeet choke or the difference is so little that can't be noticed ?

Thanks in advance,

IMO, close enough to not buy more tubes.

Hi, Black_Talon !

That's news to me !

According to that chart, the the cylinder choke is less constricted then the skeet one !

I thougth it was the opposite.

Thanks !

I don't see many "Cylinder" choke sizes around here. Make sure you aren't looking at "Improved Cylinder". Most guns here come with Imp. Cyl, Mod. and Full.

About .005 usually. (Cylinder being .000)
