Mod choke and 1/2 choke are the same constriction.. US markings are IC,Mod,IM. The UK markings are 1/4,1/2,and 3/4. Guns that are shipped to different country's use different choke designations. The German choke tubs are marked with numbers. 1= IC,1/4. 2=Mod,1/2. 3= IM,3/4. Italian chokes are marked with Asterisk's.. ****= 1,IC,1/4. ***=2, Mod,1/2, **= 3, IM,3/4.
I just bought a Winchester Ranger 120 from my uncle. I have to buy some choke tubes for it. It came with an improved cylinder, but, as you also said, I prefer a modified choke and I want a full choke to start turkey hunting. My Pointer 12 gauge break-action shotgun has a fixed modified choke (which I actually found out in a review video of it here on RUclips, because it doesn't say on the gun itself and it didn't have a manual). I bought the Winchester off my uncle because it can take different chokes and hold multiple rounds.
It's nice to have the ability to change chokes out on the fly. Where I live in the fall we have so many different hunting seasons all at once. I find modified is the best balance for all our seasons.
Make sure when squeezing your finger, your not pulsating or squeezing your gun hand. That will pull your shots low everytime. Hold the gun with the same consistancy before, during and after the shot. That will keep you on target everytime...
I would use modified, But with that being said if your shots are within 15-30 yards I feel an improved cylinder would work okay. It's best to pattern your gun with the shells you plan on using to see what would work best. Hope this helps!
@@gunsrodsoutdoors64 thank u but most of the time I’m in close quarters hunting rabbits that’s why I asked I use a 20 gauge and 16 gauge hunting cottontails
@@gunsrodsoutdoors64 if they were installed by the Polychoke factory they were an amazing tool but if soldered onto the barrel by your local gunsmith they always shot crooked
@@gunsrodsoutdoors64 I love mine. I can go open cylinder in briars for rabbits and crank it to X full in seconds if the dogs tree a squirrel in the top of a tree
@@gunsrodsoutdoors64 have you heard of a whitworth rifle. civil war era i have one and its my favorite rifle to shoot and is considerably cheaper to shoot than modern fire arms with very similar accuracy

Modified is my go to choke but I like 16ga a little better than 12ga for hunting
I wish I had one! 16 gauges seem to hold a pattern better too!
Nice video man
Thank you sir!
Is improved cylinder good for rabbit hunting

@@JustinRiddick-i9e if your in close quarters I would try the improved cylinder then. Less pellets in the meat lol
I miss the old Polychokes
A lot of people loved them, and a lot of people hated them.

@@jeffreese4194 ahh I see. I've never had experience with them
@@gunsrodsoutdoors64 I love mine. I can go open cylinder in briars for rabbits and crank it to X full in seconds if the dogs tree a squirrel in the top of a tree
@@jeffreese4194 I can definitely see the benefit of it!
10g is the best gauge
10 gauges are impressive but not exactly practical for small game such as grouse and grey squirrels. It works awesome for geese though!
Non sense I use 10g for everything or even 11g in my smoothbore flintlock for shotgun wise and it's just fine for about everything
@@henryofskalitz2228 you do you man. We all have different opinions. I'm just happy your out there enjoying the outdoors!
@@gunsrodsoutdoors64 have you heard of a whitworth rifle. civil war era i have one and its my favorite rifle to shoot and is considerably cheaper to shoot than modern fire arms with very similar accuracy
@@henryofskalitz2228 I haven't heard of them. I will look them up
You can't figure out how to draw a circle with a pen and string?
Probably could. But no available string at the time.
@@gunsrodsoutdoors64 hey it worked and that's all that matters
@@aPoorsPerspective that's what I was thinking.. thanks for the support! I appreciate it!
What a douche bag question
It's not an artist test😂
