[skeet]

Fabs I can tell you that without a doubt longer chokes can make a big difference on patterns...if they are done right. A lot of them on the market are exactly what you said... A way to remove money from our pockets. They are mass produced you know...and every bbl is different inside. every one! One reason I like Briley. If ya send a bbl to them to be choked..they choke the bbl to fit the bore. I have a 12 ga 11-87 bbl that is .737 in the bore. Even a skeet choke is kinda tight. A skeet choke for a normal .729 bore(nominal 12 ga) has about .003-.004 constriction. In this bbl the constriction is.011. Just a little tighter than Improved cylinder. I got a choke from Briley and told them bore diameter and they sent me a skeet choke for that bbl. Measures about .0045...and boy does it shoot patterns. 2nd best I've ever shot. The best patterns I ever got was with a Baker Big Bore bbl with Federal paper light 9's. If I held her right it smoked targets from any station on the field. Like an idiot I sold that gun.

I also have an 1100 Standard weight 20 ga D grade bbl that was sent to Briley to be choked. With the skeet choke in it will crush targets with authority from anywhere on the skeet field
