Those chokes are held in very high regard by a lot of folks. There is a bit of a "cult following" for them.

Thanks,
Clark

That is exactly why I posted it up Clark. 

I used to have one.  Great choke.  Gave it to the bil for his 835.  Still hasn't killed a boggler with it since I gave it to him probably 7 years ago.   :OGani:

I still own and (once in a while hunt with) a Bansner custom 1187.. the barrel has a .640ish choke of stainless steel permanently fixed into the barrel..circa 1988 or so. Cutting edge technology at the time.

I have killed a bunch of birds with it over the years.. I believe he called it the "Predator" choke system..

Bansner is an excellent gunsmith..

Yes, he is.  All of his time now is devoted to rifles.

Its the very first turkey choke I ever bought. Has to be close to 15-20 yrs ago and Its still the choke i hunt with . Im going to put it up against some of the newer ones this year to see how they compare.
