Chokes on my benelli

[chris1wg 24]

Right sorry for the stupid question but I'm pretty new to shotguns, the chokes on my benelli don't say what they are just have like sort of * that symbol on them one on one two on the other and 3 on the third one?? Also I know it might be a stupid question what choke gives a tighter choke 1/4 aw full ?? Reason why I ask this my rizzini o/u don't have chokes so never used them before

Hi mate not a stupid question that's what this forum is for (or should be)

 

* = full choke

** = improved modified

*** = Modified

**** = improved cylinder

***** = cylinder

 

Basically the more stars the wider the choke you should also see on the chokes "not for steel shot" these will be the tighter chokes.

 

Full is tighter than a 1/4 choke

there also should be little notches at end of choke so that you dont need to keep takeing them out to see wots in.

The tighter the choke , the further the lead goes before spreading. That's a simple analysis. All gun's have choke, just your old one was fixed choke and this is adjustable / multi choke.

1 * = full choke

 

2 * = 3/4

3 * = 1/2

4 * =1/4

The further the target , the tighter the choke need's to be to keep the pellet's closer together so that as many as possible hit the target.

Shoot at a white tin sheet or similar with the different chokes from 25 yards so you can see the difference
