Chokes
David,
If the chokes are indeed wide open, I cannot think of a better ruffed grouse choke to use (unless someone invents something more open than cylinder). In northern Minnesota where we hunt, a very close shot is the rule and not the exception. I do have Briley chokes in a Parker Reproduction and love it. In the grouse and woodcock cover it is cyl/cyl for me! Good Luck, Steve Kleist Ely, MN |

The modern non-toxic shot's are harder than lead and thus pattern tighter.
Enjoy the Cyl/Cyl bores! You may find that for practive it's a great gun to about 40 yards. I have a Fox CE 16 with cut barrels cyc/cyl bores. It will break clays out to 40 yards using RST 7/8 oz loads. If I wanted to shoot ducks with it I'd load Nice Shot or ITX and woudl expect a Light Mod pattern or maybe a little tighter. Mark |

David: I have had Brileys in some side by sides, and loved them. They add a versatility to a side by side the purists tend to really dislike,but most of them can afford several guns, so change guns rather than chokes.
As for me, Briley chokes are a practical choice. No, I wouldn't put them in a rare gun; some CHE Bernard Barreled beauty, but for yours.......heck yes. Sam Ogle, Lincoln, NE |

Have you determined the original length? Have you determined the present choke constriction or pattern percentage?
Might be useful information to know before doing anything else. |
