Browning Invector-Plus Midas Grade 12 Gauge Skeet Extended Choke Tube: Precision for Peak Performance

For shotgun enthusiasts and competitive shooters seeking to elevate their performance, the Browning Invector-Plus Midas Grade 12 Gauge Skeet Extended Choke Tube is a critical upgrade. This isn't just another accessory; it's a precision-engineered component designed to optimize your shotgun's pattern density and consistency, particularly for the fast-paced demands of skeet shooting and similar clay target sports. If you own a Browning shotgun designed for the Invector-Plus system and are looking to achieve tighter, more predictable patterns, reduce maintenance, and simplify choke changes, this Midas Grade choke tube offers a compelling solution. It's the answer for those who demand superior ballistic performance and durability from their firearm components.

What Makes the Browning Midas Grade Choke Tube Stand Out?

Choosing the right choke tube is paramount for any shotgun owner aiming for consistent results, whether in competitive shooting or hunting scenarios. The Browning Midas Grade Invector-Plus Skeet choke tube, part number 1130193, is specifically engineered to deliver exceptional performance. Here's how it addresses common challenges and enhances your shooting experience:

Optimized Pattern Performance for Skeet Shooting

• Long Taper Technology: At the heart of the Invector-Plus system is its long taper design. Unlike shorter, abrupt tapers, this extended constriction gently guides the shot charge, minimizing pellet deformation and ensuring a more uniform and dense pattern downrange. For skeet shooting, where targets are close and fast-moving, a consistent and wide-spreading pattern is crucial for reliable breaks.
• Midas Grade Precision: The "Midas Grade" designation isn't just a name; it signifies an even higher level of manufacturing precision within the Invector-Plus line. These choke tubes are known to produce patterns that are noticeably tighter and more consistent than standard Invector-Plus offerings, giving you a competitive edge. The constriction diameter of .005 is ideal for skeet, providing just enough spread for close-range targets while maintaining excellent shot density.
• Reduced Plastic Buildup: The innovative "minimum gap geometry" combined with a high-resolution "RMS" (Roughness Measurement System) finish actively works to reduce the accumulation of plastic fouling from shot wads within the shotgun bore. This means less time spent cleaning and more time shooting, while also helping to maintain consistent ballistic performance shot after shot.

Unmatched Durability and Ease of Use

• 17-4 Stainless Steel Construction: Crafted from robust 17-4 stainless steel, this choke tube offers superior strength, corrosion resistance, and longevity. 17-4 stainless steel is a high-performance alloy known for its excellent mechanical properties, making it an ideal material for components subjected to high pressures and repetitive stress, such as shotgun choke tubes. This ensures your choke tube will withstand countless rounds and harsh conditions without degrading performance.
• Black Oxide Finish with Gold Accent: Beyond its performance benefits, the choke tube features a durable black oxide finish. This finish not only provides additional corrosion protection but also gives the choke a sleek, professional appearance that complements any Browning shotgun. A distinctive laser-etched gold accent band adds a touch of premium aesthetics, reflecting its "Midas Grade" status.
• Extended Design for Tool-Free Changes: The extended design is a significant convenience factor. Unlike flush-mounted choke tubes that often require a wrench for installation and removal, the Browning Midas Grade extended choke tube protrudes beyond the muzzle. This allows for quick, tool-free changes by hand, even during a shooting session. This feature is particularly valued in dynamic shooting environments where rapid adjustments might be necessary. At a mere 4.80 ounces, it adds negligible weight to your barrel, maintaining optimal balance.

Understanding Choke Tubes and Their Role in Shotgun Performance

For those new to shotgun shooting or seeking a deeper understanding, here’s why choke tubes like the Browning Invector-Plus Midas Grade are indispensable:

• What is a Choke Tube? A choke tube is a removable, interchangeable constriction at the muzzle end of a shotgun barrel. Its primary purpose is to control the spread of the shot pattern as it exits the barrel. By varying the degree of constriction, shooters can tailor their shotgun's performance to different types of targets, ranges, and ammunition.
• Why are Different Chokes Needed? The effectiveness of a shotgun depends heavily on placing enough pellets on target to ensure a clean break or ethical take. For close-range targets, a wider pattern is desirable to increase the probability of a hit. For distant targets, a tighter pattern concentrates the shot, delivering more energy and density to extend the effective range.
• The Science of Patterning: Choke tubes influence the shot string and pattern density. A well-designed choke, like the Invector-Plus Midas Grade, minimizes pellet deformation, leading to a more uniform distribution of pellets within the pattern. This consistency is crucial for predictable results.

Who Can Benefit from the Browning Invector-Plus Midas Grade Choke Tube?

This specific choke tube is an excellent investment for a range of shooters:

• Skeet Shooters: As the "Skeet" constriction type suggests, this choke is purpose-built for the sport of skeet. It provides the optimal spread for the close and varied angles of skeet targets, maximizing your chances of breaking clays with every shot. Its rapid-change capability is a bonus during multi-station rounds.
• Recreational Clay Target Shooters: Whether you're enjoying a casual round of sporting clays or five-stand, the reliable patterns from this Midas Grade choke will enhance your enjoyment and improve your scores.
• Hunters of Upland Game: While primarily designed for skeet, the light constriction can also be effective for certain upland bird hunting scenarios where flushing birds are engaged at close to medium ranges.
• Browning Shotgun Owners: Crucially, this choke tube is designed exclusively for Browning shotguns equipped with the Invector-Plus system. If your Browning shotgun barrel is marked "Invector-Plus," this choke will fit perfectly. It is important to remember that it is NOT compatible with shotguns showing "Standard Invector" or "Invector-DS" on the barrel(s). Always verify your shotgun's choke system before purchase.
• Shooters Seeking Performance and Durability: Anyone looking to upgrade their existing choke tubes to a higher-grade, more durable option that offers superior patterning and easier maintenance will find the Midas Grade an excellent choice.

Maintenance and Care for Your Choke Tube

Proper care ensures longevity and consistent performance:

• Regular Cleaning: After each shooting session, remove your choke tube and clean it thoroughly. Use a brass brush and a good quality solvent to remove powder residue and plastic fouling. The "RMS" finish on the Midas Grade helps reduce buildup, but regular cleaning is still essential.
• Lubrication: Apply a thin layer of choke tube grease or anti-seize compound to the threads of the choke tube before reinserting it into the barrel. This prevents galling (wear caused by friction between mating surfaces) and makes future removal easier.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect your choke tube for any signs of wear, damage, or bulging. If you notice any issues, replace the choke immediately.
