Title: Pure Gold?
Post by: Punisher on March 02, 2014, 08:48:12 PM
Has anyone tried the regular Pure Gold or the Tempest with the Fed. HW #7s?  If you have, what constriction, and what were your results?  I have a Rem. 870 20 ga. with 26" barrel.

Don't quote me on this, but I remember a few years ago when those PG tempest came out that they didn't put up as good of numbers as many of the popular chokes on here.  They pretty much died out at that point.  I don't think they are bad, I just think there are probably better options for less money.

For the money, the Carlson's .575 will beat out the Tempest every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
