Trying to decide between Briley extended chokes and factory chokes for my Beretta A400 Xcel
I've been shooting my A400 for about two years now, mostly sporting clays and some trap. I've been using the factory flush chokes that came with it (IC, M, IM) and they've been fine, but I'm thinking about upgrading to extended chokes. I see Briley recommended a lot, but they're pricey. Are they really worth it over just sticking with the factory ones? I shoot mostly 1-1/8 oz of #8 at 1200 fps.

I made the switch to Briley extended chokes on my Browning 725 about a year ago and haven't looked back. The main benefit for me wasn't so much pattern improvement (though they are very consistent), but the ease of changing them without a tool and being able to quickly see what constriction I have in. For sporting clays where you're changing stations frequently, that's huge. The factory chokes are perfectly good though - if you're happy with your patterns now, you might not see a dramatic difference. What distances are you typically shooting at?
