I think you may have a good idea. I was thinking about painting a "ring" around the tube, but actually just a colored dot would work. Now what color finger nail polish should I use for the 5 tubes? This could be a whole discussion unto itself with some of the wild colors available.

Sorry, duplicate post. [ 01-20-2004, 02:46 PM: Message edited by: Plain O'Dude ]

It is a free board and anyone can make any comments they want, but I am specifically looking for ideas. I am already wearing shooting glasses which makes it a pain to change to reading glasses, I have tried that. Even with the reading glasses, the engraving is difficult to read. It is the only thing I'm not happy with on this gun. Now, the paint idea is interesting and something I had thought about. My worry was whether the paint would hold up to the heat. I have not inspected any of the other manufacturer's chokes that are color coded. Is the color ring painted on or is it some type of plastic or polymer that is applied (sort of like heat shrink tubing)? Another thought I had was different colored rubber bands, but again worried about the heat and having them melt. Has anyone tried either one? I'm not too excited about the idea of even a few drops of paint or melted rubber running down the barrel of the gun. Thanks for the ideas and the comments so far...

Yes the chokes that come with the Sport II are extended and no they do not have the id notches. They are already inscribed with the information, but it is very difficult to read. Thanks for the comments, but I am looking for solutions to the problem if someone has any interesting ideas.

Mine all have exactly four notches. [ 01-19-2004, 03:39 PM: Message edited by: Plain O'Dude ]

I have been shooting my Sport II now for about 4 months and absolutely love the gun except for the chokes. Being on the older side and close up vision problems, I have a heck of a time reading the writing on the CrioChoke tubes. A color ring used by many of the other manufacturers would have been nice. Anyone else that has had this problem come up with a good solution?
