Looking for a good gunsmith with a good price to install choke tubes in an older browning citori. I had one gunsmith quote me around 400 bucks to install the screw-ins, sounded to me like I was gettin screwed.... No but did seem a little high, if anyone has had this done and liked the job and the price let me know.
thanx

Briley will do it but price is NOT gonna be cheap. Many gunsmiths do it. Not that difficult if you have the proper equipment. Not all doubles whether SXS or O/U have enough metal to allow it tho.

Just watched a program on the tube that showed the installation of Briely thin wall tubes on an older SxS. By the looks of it the process could not have taken more than 1 hr. Unfortunately no price was quoted.

rabbithunter,
I don't know where you're located at in Ohio, but there's a gunsmith in Kenton that will install choke tubes for approximately $90 per barrel. I talked with him about having chokes installed about 3 or 4 years ago, so his prices may have changed.

Good hunting, Bowhunter57

the gunsmith in rice lake (very professional) quoted me a price of 45 bucks (not including the different tubes) to chop the barrel, move the sight, and install choke tubes. which i plan on having doen before too long.
