SBEIIWATERFOWLER Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Do you guys use any dove specific chokes for dove hunting. I know briley makes a light modified dove hunting choke, just wondering if its any better than using a factory choke, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buggsvaliant Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I will be using all the chokes and shooting to paper my brand new 3500 this and next week and i can let you know what works best for me of the stock chokes because i do not plan on purchasing more chokes unless its nessesary!

tucker301 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I usually use IC for doves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cootcommander Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 IC for me too. Late in the year I might swap to the LM Briley, but in most cases 7.5's and an IC will do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBEIIWATERFOWLER Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Well I didnt buy the "dove choke" but I did just buy the regular Light modified Briley choke and I loved it, 15 birds with two boxes of shells. Even my buddy was impressed, when I was cleaning up his misses, dont know if the choke made that much of a difference or if it was just one of those days when your shooting good.

abraham2tiffin Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) I've read that with high quality ammo the full chokes arn't needed. Depending on the terrain your hunting such as a field I would personaly take all the chokes that came with the shotgun and see what combination works best. My brother in law takes a weeks vaction to Dove hunt and travels to one of the many farming communitys here to hunt. He use's a Browning Citori feather 12 ga. 26 barrels and carrys duplicate cylinder, modified and full chokes it all depends on where your at when you set up. So if you don't have all the chokes then go buy them 2 of each kind and then shoot your gun to see what the different chokes do. You may even have a cylinder in one barrel and a modified in the other. Where I live we have big wide right of ways and pastures, but it's hard to get permission to hunt in pastures or someone else has permission. I discovered modified was best for me with a 28" barrel pump action. I don't much care for 8 shot I use 7 1/2's and even 6's. You say your gun has 30" barrels I would see how your modified choke does in it at the range but try them all. Get to know that shotgun learn what shells it likes best and what the different chokes do. Just my two cents.
