If you want something that will hold a REAL tight pattern to 60 yards, try a PatternMaster Extended Choke. I have one that came with a Beneli I bought. I patterned it the other day, it will pattern everything from lead target loads in #8,6,4 to Steel BB at 100% inside a 20" circle at 40 yards. That is WAY tighter than any normal full choke.

The PatterMaster is a zero contrition choke, effectively a cylinder bore, so you can shoot any kind of lead or steel, tungsten etc through it in 2 3/4,3 or 3 1/2". The only thing they don't handle is slugs because there are ears in the choke that strip the wad away as it leaves the barrel.

I have shot this choke on a pattern board and on trap. It completely smokes clays out past 50 yards with #8 target loads. I will be interested to see what it does on birds.
