Default Choke/Bore gauge

I'm looking for a tool strictly for measuring choke constriction. Any of you have one that you're happy with that's not too expensive?
I found this one at Brownells and was wondering if this is of good quality and maybe someone here has one.

Thanks for any input.

I like my Brownells / Skeets bore diameter gauges. I have both 12/16 and the 20/28 and have used them for several years.

Best,

Mike

so far I just have the 12/16 Skeets - I like it, then I added the Manson wall thickness gauge to make a measuring set.

I would add the Skeets gauges were out of stock for a long time, not sure if that happens often, but just in case, as they say - I got mine while the gettin' was good

Me too. They are all one needs to measure choke constriction. They will also find otherwise undiscernable ring bulges and other kinds of bulge imperfections.

Yup, that's the one you want. The least you will pay for such an excellent micrometer.

I bought the one with two detatchable heads, one head does 10/12/16 and the other does 20/28. If you cannot find them at Brownells they have them at Midway also I believe.
