Post 12 gauge choke suggestions.
I am thinking of buying a choke this duck season for my 12 gauge SBE. I shoot no2 shot in 3 inch. Any suggestions on what kind to get?

I shoot the Briley LM as well. When using steel shot it's in between a mod and a full on constriction. Get the forcing cone lenthened, it will pattern even better...

Patternmaster Code Black. One choke that does it all from decoy shooting to 50 yards.

Post Re: 12 gauge choke suggestions.
It really depends on the gun-choke-load combination (it's actually shocking how different patterns you can get when changint one of those factors).

I use Briley extended chokes: IC when birds are decoying well with #4 or #3 shot, LM when they're a little further out or hunting divers (#3 and sometimes #2 shot). Then I use Mod for geese (BB).

Get a beretta a400 and kicks high flyer mod and full and never look back.... I did pick up a used pattern master code black goose for 25 bucks but I haven't patterned it yet....i don't know if it's blown out...When I got it shot cup plastic was melted in the ports. My buddy had shot 5 cases or more through it shooting skeet..... can a choke get "blown out"?

Briley, Kicks, Patternmaster are all good chokes.

Keep in mind, what works well in one gun may not be worth crap in another, and choose a choke designed for how you intend to use it. Meaning don't buy an extra full choke (Patternmaster Code Black) if most of your shooting is at birds inside of 20yds.

My preference is to shoot at them at about 10 yards with factory IC and #4. Obviously those flippin birds don't always know try supposed to cooperate.

I leave a wad wizard in my gun and shoot #4 at ducks and BB for geese.
