I need some opinions on a very specific topic, PrepHole.
You see, when a shotgun is threaded for chokes, it's threaded for a specific thread pattern. For whatever reason, there's a ton out there. Mossberg, Remmington, Invector Plus, etc. What I want to know is which thread pattern is the best and why. Maybe I'm just autistic and overthinking a really insignificant detail, but I want to get a barrel threaded for chokes and want to get some opinions.
From what I gather, Browning Invector Plus seems to be the best design, since it goes deeper in the bore and the threads are closer to where the bore meets the inside of the choke.
Open bore for slugs.
Slugs are overrated trash and basically useless beyond 50 yards or so.
The only reason there are so many different thread patterns is back in the day they were all patented, so you'd have to buy from a specific company for your specific model of gun. It's a money making scheme. You are autistic, but this is a good question. Now that the patents are all up, any company can make them. The thread pattern really does not affect anything.
You don't shoot slugs, you don't know what you're talking about. Foster slugs in a smoothbore will hit 8inch steel plates out to 100yd if you practice and know your poi, and will absolutely keel deer out to that range.
>Foster slugs in a smoothbore will hit 8inch steel plates out to 100yd
Fucking dream on moron, no the fuck they won't.
dude i can hit a pie plate at 50yds with bead sights and run of the mill remmy slugs. i'd imagine someone practiced and with better equipment could easily double that.
This is another anon in a separate shotgun thread shooting 20g slugs at 75yd with only bead sights:

Here's the same anon doing the same thing at 100yd:

It's a skill issue, and you're a fucking casual.
>1 shot each
Let me guess, he spent all day throwing 20+ slugs per target from a bench to get a single hit on camera and called it a day. Am I right? Of course I am.
Correct. Slugs lose over half their energy at that point.
At 50yd a 1oz slug carries over 1500ftlbs of energy, which is enough for elk. At 100yd, a 1oz slug carries over 1000ftlbs, which is enough for deer. Turns out half of a fuckton of energy is still a shitload.
Heres a video of Paul Harrel shooting rifled slugs through a smoothbore out to 200yd& 300yd, and holding shockingly respectable (good enough for deer) groups. He doesn't skip over any of his shots, so you can't accuse him of taking all day for one hit and ommitting the misses:
Anon it's clear by your comments that you are not well versed in shooting slugs and don't know what you're tallking about. It's alright to lack a skill and to lack knowledge in an area, but there's no reason to spew bullshit about it.
Wow that's not an 8 inch target is it? Nice moving goal posts.
Exposing yourself not understanding relative moa.
Post you hitting an 8" plate at 100yd with any firearm. We'll wait.
I can do this with a ruger 10/22 all damn day.
Prove it
Is 100yd impressive from a rifle now?
you're nogunz and that's obvious
>Cope
No you haven't. You probably think 80m is 200m.
You first :^)
Post gun and time stamp.
I dunno, I've shot them out to 200m against larger targets with just a bead and I think that's pretty achievable, especially if you have a sight on it other than a bead.
>useless beyond 50 yards or so.
Lol, lmao even
Aww, is somebuddy scawed of da big boy recoiwl :'(
It's not about what type of choke, just the thread pattern.
Don't let this be your deciding factor.
Just buy the correct ones.
Invector Plus is pretty good for the reasons you stated and also because, apparently, restricting the bore more slowly (over a greater distance) has less of a detrimental effect on the pattern.
I don't know how true it is, but I read that because the Mossberg Accuchoke is much shorter, the tighter choke options aren't as effective.
My teague titanium super extended ported chokes on my beretta 694 are the fucking shit. I have a skeet and I/C in it and you would think my breaks are almost full and full sometimes how they break. Mr Teague sold the company a few years ago but he was a rolls royce engineer, the machining is perfect and as you say the taper is gradual and perfect. I could never go back to using anything but these chokes now. I even use them for sporting as the pattern out to distance was perfect, though I might buy a 2nd I/C choke to use.
the difference between different choke systems will be negligible.
why do people make threads about technical questions like this when there is almost certainly some snipershide or other forum thread full of people with actually helpful opinions?
because google sucks, that's why
Get your barrel cut for Teague chokes, they will do the work and make some of the best chokes you can get
