I have a Browning 10ga and am wondering about a patternmaster choke tube for it. Is it worth the $80-90 or not? Does it increase the noise blast to the shooter or partner? Any general observances you've had/witnessed?

I will not own a goose gun without one. I shoot Heavy loads of Double T's and the difference is astounding. I Had one on a Browning 10 ga. and now one on a 3.5 11-87.
When I bought the 11-87 and patterned it I would only get 65-68% patterns which I consider unacceptable for goose hunting. Once I put the pattern Master on it I was able to get 92-94% patterns at 40 yards and still very reliable at 55.
Last season I leveled a crippled Goose at a touch over 60 lasered yards after my buddy told me that there was no way I would be able to do it.
Almost every person I hunt with now has a PM tube from seeing the results in the field.
You will NOT be dissapointed in these tubes if you buy one!
