Browning Invector Midas Improved Cylinder 20 Gauge Shotgun Choke Tube

The Browning Invector Midas Improved Cylinder 20 gauge shotgun choke tube gives you a versatile constriction pattern for wingshooting and upland hunting. Built from 17-4 stainless steel with a black oxide finish on the pockets, this choke delivers a 25–55% pattern—right in that sweet spot where you're not too tight for close-range birds but still maintaining enough density for consistent hits at intermediate distances. If you shoot a 20 gauge with Browning Invector threads and want a choke that handles a range of hunting situations without swapping tubes constantly, the Midas Improved Cylinder is a practical workhorse.

Stainless steel construction resists corrosion from the elements and repeated cleaning, so this choke will outlast many shotguns. The relatively compact 0.01-inch length keeps things trim on the muzzle, and at 4.8 ounces, it won't throw off your gun's balance. Whether you're hunting pheasant in close cover, jumping ducks out of small ponds, or working upland birds in mixed terrain, this choke's pattern range gives you the flexibility to focus on shooting rather than tube swaps.

Browning Invector chokes are a common standard among hunters and shooters—if your 20 gauge is threaded for Invector, this tube will drop right in. The improved cylinder constriction is one of the more forgiving choices out there, making it a solid addition to any 20 gauge shooter's kit or a logical first choke if you're building out your options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this choke tube fit my 20 gauge shotgun?

This choke is designed for Browning Invector-threaded 20 gauge shotguns. Check your gun's threading to confirm compatibility—if it's Invector, you're good to go. If your shotgun uses a different choke system (like Mossberg or Beretta), this tube won't fit.

What does Improved Cylinder mean, and when would I use it?

Improved Cylinder is a relatively open choke constriction that delivers a 25–55% pattern. It's versatile enough for hunting situations where targets are at varying distances—close-flushed birds, mid-range shots, and even some longer presentations. It's less specialized than tighter chokes like Modified or Full, making it a practical all-around choice for hunters who don't want to swap tubes constantly.

Is the stainless steel finish going to rust or wear off?

17-4 stainless steel is highly corrosion-resistant and holds up well to the elements and regular cleaning. The black oxide finish on the pockets is durable and adds a finished look without compromising the material's protection.

How heavy is this choke, and will it change how my gun feels?

At 4.8 ounces, the weight is minimal and won't noticeably shift your shotgun's balance or handling. You'll install it and forget about it.
