skeet choke recommendations

[socalgto]

I just purchased a stoeger long fowler over under in 20 guage for a skeet gun and i was wondering what chokes you would recommend for it.

What's wrong with SK1 and SK2?

It appears you may not be aware that there is a specific choke for skeet, labeled as such. Given that skeet is short range, a very open choke is used, skeet is between cyl and IC. As noted above, the best choke for skeet is skeet. If you cannot find a "skeet" choke, an IC will work fine.

Shotgun Choke Restriction
Diameter difference between bore and shotgun choke
Cylinder < 20 0
Skeet 22.5 .005 of an inch
Improved Cylinder 25 .010
Light Modified 30 .015
Modified 32.5 .020
Improved Modified 35 .025
Light Full 37.5 .030
Full 40 or More .035
Extra Full 40 or More .040

If they don't make a sk1 or sk2 then a improved cylinder choke will work just fine.

In my O/U I use IC in top barrel and Skeet in bottom

I agree, SK1 and IC or SK1 + SK1 or even SK1 + Cyl...either combination will work just fine.
I personally use the SK1 + IC chokes myself.

I find that SK2(Skeet 2) is much tighter = Light Modified and is better suited as a sporting clays choke

Skt or Cyl for me.

Never tried cylinder, have had good success with IC

Thanks for the advice. I was mainly looking for companies. There are a bunch out there and i don't know if one is better than the other. So far a buddy has recommended briley but i have no experience with chokes

What type chokes does it take?

Briley is the gold standard when it comes to shotgun chokes.

I second the recommendation for briley but Carlson is also a good brand.

I Second this! I got my dad a Full, extra full, skeet and IC for christmas last year and he loves them!

Chevy/Ford/Chrysler. Throw in Mercedez/Porsche/BMW

You can spend $100 per choke. With a Stoeger, I don't think that is your goal. I recently bought a couple Muller U0's for skeet at $80 each.

For basic flush chokes, Briley and Carlson. Should be ~$25 each. Good? Yes. Best?

When I'm ready for some extended chokes I'll be going back to Briley
