The Adjustable shotgun choke!
Like mine on a H & R bolt for grouse and rabbits. Terrain changed fast and it was nice to twist to the terrain.
I did purchase an adjustable for my 1400 semiautomatic. Does make it feel like a anti-aircraft gun.
I do think for upland game hunting they are convient. Does,anyone else like or dislike adjustable chokes?
I dislike them, I didn't like them even before interchangeable choke tubes hit the market. In addition to the appearance of the thing on the end of a barrel, if you are making choke changes in the field, unless you unload your gun first, it is dangerous to be fiddling around with the muzzle of loaded firearm. Additionally, you never know if you are going to have a close shot or a far shot when game flushes out. Better to have two barrels with two different chokes, then you are ready for most circumstances.
My dad had a PolyChoke on his Westernfield (Montgomery Ward Mossberg) 12 gauge pump. The thing was ugly as a mud fence. But it was surprisingly effective.
I have my dad's old Ithaca 37 with a PolyChoke added to a 32" barrel. Man, that thing is so long you don't have to shoot, just knock em down with the end of the barrel. LOL.
thanks for the pro's and con's of them sounds interesting
