Title: Has everyone had a great experience with the PatternMaster Code Black Choke?
Post by: 3" 870 Shell Shucker on May 26, 2014, 10:18:30 PM
There were a few really positive posts about this choke a couple of months back.

Has the feedback all been positive so far?

It's a $100 choke.  Not the kind of thing I would just buy and try out on a whim.

But I am really curious about it.....

Well, I bought one to try, but haven't as yet. I'm wanting to standardize on 3x5 Thugs for my turkey guns. We will see...

I shoot the Code Black in my A400 Xtreme with great results shooting Hevi5's, Winchester 6's & Winchester Long Beard 5's.

I paid $85 to my door for mine and I'm happy with how it shoots in my a400.

Most chokes cost that much for that gun anyway.

It's a very low volume product so far and there's not much feedback on it currently.

The number of new chokes introduced each year has slowed but there are still a few. I have not had an opportunity to evaluate that one and probably won't for several months.

It's a very crowded market dominated by a few manufacturers and for a new choke to gain market share is pretty rare, regardless of manufacturer or innovative design.

I'll publish my "Product Test" article later this year.

Thanks,
Clark.

I love mine on my trusty 870 26'' barrel.  I spit some Hevi shot 3'' 2oz no6 or the mag blend 3'' 2 oz and it sure does the trick easily out at 40 yards.  I had previously a Undertaker, a Remington turkey and a Jelly Head.
This combo killed over a dozen birds so far.
