But if I was going to tube a gun today it would have to be Briley’s here is why.
Briley will custom make full length fitted tubes same as Kolar.
It is way easier to play with chokes with the Briley tubes, with Kolar’s the outside diameter of the choke is fit to your bore so if you want different chokes then what came with it you need to send it back to Kolar.
With Briley the chokes are internal threads, you can simply buy what you want and they send it to you. You can even exchange chokes with Briley’s for just shipping.

Usually when ever I've had a gun tubes I had Kolar include skeet and just a hair tighter for each tube .And that's about all a tubed gun of mine will be used for , You are quite correct in your opinion I just prefer to stick with Kolar they were always good to me with any problems that may have arisen . Not to say Briley wouldn't be as well , but for skeet tubes I have a brand loyalty
