Here is a questions. It there any advantage of a fixed choke over choke tube or visa versa.
What brought this to mind is the old BT 99 I had in the late 70's early 80's had a fixed 32" IM choke. My brother in law had a M 12 with a fixed full. We patterned these on paper at 40yds and each were in the 75-80% range. I am sure we were not very scientific about it. but for us they were equal. Did not have a mic but a dime would stop about the same distance from the end in each barrel (I told you not very scientific) So why not find a fixed choke gun and just shoot it? Seems like life would be a lot simpler with out all the options of adjustable this and that. That said I do think a gun needs to be fitted to you to get the best out of it and you too. So what do you think fixed or tubes?
