Hi all,
Wondering if somebody would help me on this,
I have a miroku mk60 fixed choke at 3/4 and full,
It fits me like a glove but struggling on the clays due to being a beginner.
Is it possible to convert this into a multi choke version.
Thanks, mick.
 
Mick, as CSL posted, Teague is the way.
However, its pretty expensive at £330 for the machining and then £46 per choke tube.
Unless you're going to be using the gun on very high birds, FITASC and trap disciplines, nyou might be better just having the chokes honed out by Teague, or looking for one of the MK60 guns in 1/4 & 3/4, which are to be found in 32" barrels (I'm assuming you have an MK60 High Pheasant).

Hi malxwal,
Yeah it is quite a lump of money compared to the price I paid for the gun,
I think maybe you are right with getting the barrels honed or even considering a part exchange, it's a shame the gun feels perfect for me as well,
Thanks for the advice.

Personally id get your gun bored out to 1/4 and 1/2 by Teague this is relatively cheap about 50£ a barrel and will do you fine for almost everything for a long long time

Only thing might be comb height on a standard MK60 might be lower.
Cheaper to have chokes eased by Teague, and if you eased them as far as half, you could have it steel proofed too.
 
Just left of centre, but......if you're struggling on clays then maybe a session or two with a 'good'coach could pay dividends??
Chokes aren't the 'be all and end all' that at lot of people make out. Fit and technique is infinity more important.
Quite right about leaving it fixed choke and taking them out if that's what you decide - much cheaper. Half and Half good and will work fine if and when you go steel shot!
 
Bloody lovely guns, stick with it. As above, maybe have a bit of coaching before altering.
But I know from experience how unforgiving they are on short range targets/birds at full choke.
I use the 20 bore ones, and the full barrel patterns about 7" at 15yds.

I've a mirook fixed choke in same.boat ideal for birds but hard work unless your on the ball for clays im planning on sending mine away to teauge And getting it choked and steel.proofed as I love the gun the cost will only hurt iill next payday
 
I learned clays using a Nikko trap gun with tight chokes and found they were helpful because if you can break clays with tight chokes you know your technique is sound. Wide chokes can give you hits even when your technique is sloppy so mask your progress.

Yeah I've looked at it on that point of view myself, but I was having ago at some rabbit clays today and it was shooting like a rifle with the full choke haha,
Cheers mate.
 
Yes I know that feeling. I suggest invest the money in lessons that you would have used to convert the shotgun to multi-chokes. Your technique will quickly sharpen up and you will get hits with the tighter chokes.

Yeah I agree, I think it's better to have the experience and not need it rather than need the experience and not have it, well in my case have it and need it haha,
Cheers.
 
I’d get a decent gunsmith to take this out to ⅜ and ⅝ and leave it at that, still great for game and fine for clays, you can adjust pattern by trying different cartridges too
 
Just to add to the discussion, I have a Beretta 680 trap that had been converted to multichoke by Teague (before my ownership, so no idea on cost) the chokes are a great piece of precision engineering and the gun patterns superbly.

I wanted a couple of extra chokes for it, and this was very easy as they keep all the details of the gun on file. They made the chokes and posted them to me with a bill! Payment upon receipt!

If you did decide to go for it I doubt you would be disappointed.
