Home Forums Birds & Dogs Shotguns Best aftermarket choke tube?

I'd say the best one for waterfowl is one that gives you the pattern you want.

Notice though that there are other considerations.

I have no idea how well or poorly they work but there are premium shells with odd shaped shot and weird wads. Might consider specialty chokes that claim to get the most out of the extended range or extra dense pattern of the premium shells - if you shoot those shells.

It's getting pretty picky but some people like titanium screw in chokes as arguably lighter than the common stainless steel and so balancing different. Not better just different.

I might well avoid them in a duck blind but there are ported chokes - I think a ported choke just might pattern a little tighter or a little more consistently in a tight choke but maybe not.

Some folks shooting Sporting Clays may change chokes at every stand and so want an extended color coded choke tube to identify and to grasp and a coated tube for less sticktion and easier wipe clean.

I've always assumed that Briley makes their own at home in Texas as well as the ones they make for others - again maybe not but I'd be surprised.
