I have a Browning Citori O/U in 20 gauge and the shorter 26 inch barrels. It is a dream to carry...
I am going to buy some more choke tubes,,,, But I have been hearing a little bit about the Trulock choke tubes.....
I am looking o extend the range a touch with 3 inch Bismuth and Hevi-shot loads....


Anyone have any personal experience???
 
If you're talking about Browning extended chokes, Trulocks are actually less money, and include shipping. The difference between one choke and another is probably minimal, so if you feel more comfortable with Browning then that's the way to go.
 
Trulock vs Invector +

Maxus came with Browning chokes. I heard good things about Trulocks and especially their CS. Purchased the Trulocks and compared to the Invector + chokes that came stock with my Maxus. Now this was about two years ago. I dont have the pattern boards any longer but the Trulocks put more shot within the circle then did a similar Invector+. Tested 4 different chokes and all the Trulocks were significantly better. Average was about 17% and the best was 19%.

Haven't tried any other aftermarket chokes on the pattern board.
 
Browning does not make their chokes - Between Briley, Carlson's, Trulock, and countless others, one of them made the Invector and Invector plus chokes for Browning.

As has been mentioned, the true test of which one is best is in YOUR gun with YOUR load at the pattern board. You might want to give the Browning chokes that came with the gun a try - there is nothing wrong with them.
 
I have patterned RemChokes, Brileys, Brownings, Trulocks, Carlsons, Colonials, and even two of the el cheapo RedHeads from BassPro, and several of the super duper satellite downing, turkey annihilating, duck dropping, supremely expensive models, and I haven't found one bit of difference in performance. It comes down to the bore versus constriction. There are manufacturing tolerances in barrels and choke tubes. In my experience, Briley seems to be able to hold the closest tolerance, but maybe when I called them and told them exactly what I wanted they measured them before they shipped them, I don't know. But they were within 0.0002".
 
all of my comp-n-choke's pattern better than the brileys that i originally bought for my citori (w/invector+ system). The pattern is much more even in shot distribution vs the briley chokes and stock browning chokes.

Most either love or hate the ported chokes though. Me being in the former. :)
 
And let's not forget the new kid on the block - Mueller - aluminum with ceramic coating, lighter than all the rest - and if you believe the fan boys they will break targets without pulling the trigger! :D
 
I have patterned this Browning with the stock issued chokes. The modified does OK but the full throws an odd pattern that strings the shot from 10 o'clock to 4 o'clock.
I am looking for a couple Full-Full for super tight patterns out a ways..

OOL,

Don't make fun of them.... it really happened.. my wife's, cousin's, baby-sitter's father consistantly shot +/- 1% better with the Mueller chokes installed... but he did look cooler doing it :cool:
