Allen, you do not need to spend nearly that much money. I found a gent in Montana who custom makes gauges. I have two, a 12/16 and a 20 gauge set and they are fantastic, for a very reasonable price. I know a few other folks here on the forum have ordered from him when I found him and they are very happy with there gauges also. Give him a call, he is a great guy. He is retired and make them at home in his machine shop. High quality and fast service. I bought the digital gauges. They are easy to use. And he uses stainless steel rods, not wood or plastic.

A +1 on Gary's tools. I have two sizes
Just make sure you let him know has long to make them and which gauges you intend to use them on

Allen, I think he is saying just be sure Mr. Bulley knows what gauge you want, and the length of the rod that it is mounted on.

Steve and Rick, if all I'm interested in doing is measuring chokes on my doubles, why with this Montana gents gauge would I need a rod on the gauge any longer than say 6 inches? Do his gauges serve other purposes that you use them for this needing a longer rod? This is a question from me who is a neophyte when it comes to mechanics etc. So pardon me for asking. And thanks

Allen, you'll want the tool to be 15-16" long so that you can measure mean bore diameters. Simply knowing the choke diameter doesn't help until you can also know what the total constriction from true bore is.
