Title: Stevens 301 choke constriction recommendations?
Post by: mlee3553 on March 14, 2024, 11:58:14 AM
I picked up a 301 .410 for my daughter to use for her first hunt this spring, I'm just going with the stock choke for her hunt, it's patterning well out to 30 with it and that's really all the further I want her shooting right now.  I was wondering though what constrictions people have been seeing the best patterns with? I know results will very but just looking for a good place to start.  Thanks.

My wfe is shooting a stevens 301 410 also. I tryed aftermarket chokes in it and it didn't shoot as good as the stocked choke. The stocked choke measured 390. I don't want it to tight for her.

Mine measured .388 it's throwing a nice pattern for my daughter, I shot it at 40 and I would not be comfortable with it at that distance, would it get the job done? yeah probably but not worth the risk in my book, the reason I was asking about aftermarket chokes is I think I might have to take it out myself just to say I shot with a .410  :fud:
