aftermarket choke recommendation?

[Milkmaster]

I have a Remington 1100 field gun I want to make into my backup or loaner trap gun. I am thinking about adding an extended choke to it for a couple of reasons.

1. I like an extended choke because you don't have to use a wrench between rounds to check it for tightness. Using my winchokes that you can tighten by hand easily have spoiled me. The Remchokes on 1100's require a wrench to do this.

2. I am going to need a different choke than came on the gun anyway to shoot trap, so why not get an extended choke for the above reason!

I am considering a Briley Invector extended choke. I saw them at Bass Pro. Are there others I should consider as viable candidates as well?

Briley's as good as it gets IMO. Carlson chokes are an option as well. They are a bit cheaper than Briley's.

Great customer service, small Mom & Pop type of operation, prices are very good.

Briley,Trulock, Hastings, Colonial and Carlson's are all class acts. Briley is more pricey.

Try a Polychoke II. Just a twist of the wrist gets you any choke you need. Order from Cabelas, Brownell, or Polychoke. I have them on all my guns. Wouldn't be without one. Easy to install and remove if you want to use another type tube. My guess is once you try a Poly II you won't ever want to change it.

Many years ago, 30-35 years, I reckon, I had my hunting guns with fixed chokes fitted with Polychokes and had the barrels cut down to 24". When guns became available with the screw-ins, I started using Poly IIs. Tossed the screw-ins and never looked back.

I recently bought a new Remington 11-87 and went by Gander Mtn and picked up a Poly II. Love it.

Just my 2 cents worth.

I've bought lots of Briley's over the years for the many shotguns I've owned and they've always worked (and patterned) perfectly.

Avoid ported chokes. The holes just fill up with plastic and are a bear to clean.

Has anyone patterned the polychoke 2 to see how it looks?

It seems like a great idea - one screw in choke that can be twisted to various constriction.

I just wonder how good it works in real life?

This is a follow-up to my original post...

After listening to what was suggested, I decided to try and buy an extended choke that would match the stock choke on my Classic Trap 1100. I seem to have the best luck with it so why try it different? The trap singles choke for my trap classic 1100 is stamped .027. The closest thing Briley listed on the website was either a .025 or an .030. So I called them to see if they could match my .027 favorite. They said no problem doing it and even had one in stock. I plan to pattern the two and see what differences exist.

Strange to find the Briley chokes cheaper direct online than at my local Bass Pro store. I asked the guy the difference between the many model named "remchoke" replacements they have to sell. He said it was really a preference for vented or color. One choke was made the same as the others as far as shooting them goes. The $39.95 choke I bought according to him was just as well made as the ones that cost twice as much because they are colored or vented.

I was curious about the Ploychoke 2 as well. But I just can't get into trying to adjust that thing while concentrating during a round of trap. I know I could pattern it before, but the temptation to screw around with it when having a bad day of shooting would probably be more than I would stand I am curious if anyone shoots trap with a polychoke.

Thanks for all who replied!
