Top 3 Waterfowl Chokes for Charles Daly Shotguns

↬ Charles Daly compatible choke tubes are designed specifically to fit Charles Daly shotguns like the Honcho, 601, and Field Hunter. Many choke tubes won’t fit Charles Daly shotguns, so it’s important that you choose the right one that will deliver the results you need.

The Patternmaster Code Black and Carlson’s Cremator are two of the best choke tubes for Charles Daly shotguns. They can deliver results of over 80% pellets inside a 30-inch circle at over 40 yards with the right ammo. Their ported design helps reduce recoil and muzzle jump, making follow up shots quicker and more accurate.

In this guide, we’ll discuss in more detail why you should consider these chokes, the features behind them, and what to expect at certain hunting distances. And remember, always pattern your shotgun to see how it performs with the ammo you plan on hunting with so adjustments can be made prior to using it in the field.

Best Chokes for Charles Daly Shotguns

These are the three choke tubes that you should consider for Charles Daly shotguns that can give you the edge over factory chokes by producing dense and more consistent patterns. Charles Daly shotguns are compatible with the Remington choke system.

1) Carlson’s Cremator Non-Ported Choke

The Carlson’s Cremator choke tube is an excellent choice for hunters who need a versatile choke that can perform well with a variety of shotshell loads. This choke tube uses a unique design that consists of multiple tapers, which work together to provide a consistent shot pattern. This makes the Cremator ideal for hunting situations where you need to be able to adjust your shooting style quickly and accurately.

The Charles Daly works especially well with the Carlson’s Cremator. This mid-range choke gives dense patterns between 30 and 40 yards. This is the perfect choke for open water situations or ducks over decoys. This two pack comes with both a Mid Range (MR) .715″ and Long Range (LR) .705″ choke. This is the BUDGET pick.

2) Patternmaster Code Black Choke

The Patternmaster Code Black is a top-of-the-line choke tube that provides unmatched performance in long-range hunting situations. This choke tube uses a specialized constriction design that helps to control the spread of shot at longer distances. This makes it an ideal choice for waterfowl hunters who need to take shots at moving targets from a distance.

The Patternmaster Code Black choke tube fits the Charles Daly perfectly. This all-around choke is great for field hunts, ponds, lakes, and rivers where the range of shots varies, and you’ll be able to handle it all without having to change chokes mid hunt. The Patternmaster choke features internal studs that halt the wad to aid in a controlled shot separation to minimize pellet deformation and keep patterns tighter at longer ranges. This choke patterns closer to a full choke. This is the TOP pick for MAX range.

3) Carlson’s Cremator Ported Mid Range

Carlson’s ported version of the Cremator choke series is another good option for the Charles Daly in that it helps reduce recoil and muzzle jump, while the internal stud design works to reduce pellet deformation. This mid-range choke tube is perfect for decoying birds in tight or for quick passing shots at medium range.

Consider the ported Cremator choke if you want a slight reduction in muzzle jump and getting on targets faster for follow up shots due to directing some of the gases and pressure outwards. However, ported chokes can be louder and may throw more gun powder residue outwards, so keep that in mind.

What is the best Charles Daly choke for steel shot?

The Charles Daly shotgun works well with a wide variety of choke tubes and shot types. This is true with steel shot used mostly for waterfowl. Steel shot loads can all be fired through certain models which it is specifically designed for.

The best Charles Daly choke tube for steel shot is the Patternmaster Code Black. It provides dense patterns with short shot strings that are capable of hitting fast moving birds. It works especially well over decoys out to ranges of 50 yards.

Another great option is the Carlson’s Cremator series of chokes. These choke tubes are highly customizable as they are available in long range and mid-range options depending on the hunting situation.

Are Charles Daly factory chokes good enough?

Often overlooked are the factory choke tubes that are included with the Charles Daly when bought new. The choke system is installed on most Charles Daly shotguns and can be customized with interchangeable choke tubes built for it.

Factory Charles Daly chokes tubes can be good enough, but it depends on the application it’s being used for (e.g. timber hunting vs pass shooting) and the shotshell loads. These factors will determine if the factory choke you have is capable of performing for any given hunting situation.

Once you’ve determined that the factory choke size and constriction is right, then patterning with the loads you intend to hunt with will let you know if it’s good enough to use in the field. If patterning can’t be done, then an aftermarket choke tube like the Patternmaster will most likely perform better right out of the box.

Is the Charles Daly modified choke the most versatile choke size?

Yes, the modified choke tube is the most versatile choke tube for the Charles Daly and its choke system. It may not be the best performer at all ranges, but over a wide range it can’t be beat.

This includes close decoy shooting, birds skirting the edges of the decoys, and that occasional long pass shot. A modified may be too tight of a choke for timber hunting since shots are under 30 yards. A light modified, improved cylinder, or skeet choke may be a better option.

Regardless, if you’re in a field hunting situation where the shots on birds will be at varying ranges from 20 yards to 50 yards, the modified is a good choice for versatility.

How It Compares

When it comes to choosing the right choke tube for Charles Daly shotguns, Carlson’s Cremator stands out from its competitors. The Carlson’s Cremator is engineered with a unique design that provides consistent and even shot patterns, resulting in better accuracy and a higher precision. Unlike its competitors, the Cremator is built with Triple Shot Technology, which ensures that the shot is evenly distributed, reducing the chances of having holes or gaps in your pattern. Additionally, the Cremator’s ports and longer parallel section helps to reduce recoil, which in turn leads to more controlled shots and better follow ups. Overall, the Carlson’s Cremator is a top performer, delivering outstanding results that set it apart from the competition.

Bottom Line

Several factory choke tubes come with the Charles Daly, but they aren’t always the best. After market premium choke tubes are available to provide enhanced features and better patterning results that translate to better success in the field.

The best choke tubes for the Charles Daly are the Carlson’s Cremator and Patternmaster Code Black. These two choke tubes can provide consistent and dense patterns at long ranges for both ducks and geese that outperform factory chokes.

As always, patterning should be completed with the choke tubes and ammo you plan to use to really see what works best. Ammo can be finicky out of some choke tubes, so patterning with as many combinations as you can is always the best option.
