2 Piper agree with you on the brands. While Starrett is the favored brand B&S or Mitutoyo make nice tools, Lufkin did too.
The Skeets gage is suitable for its intended purpose, checking chokes, and well worth the price. Accurate another thing. It has a 5 dollar Chinese indicator on a wood shaft with a metal rod inside. The heads are interchangeable 12 to 20 gage. Slip fit on the shaft with O ring securing. Comes with 2 setting rings .600 & .700. Using the ring mine will vary at times .oo2 + other times spot on. No depth indication on the shaft, possible to insert different depths when switching one barrel to the other. That can be overcome if you mark the shaft.
Any of these devices particularly Telescoping gages, take some experence to operate, thats why I say dont be too concerned if a sloppy tool says your barrels have size issues. Better to get a good gunsmith to check it, or what most do give it a quick choke constriction check and dont worry about it.
I have never seen Brownells Gage it may read accurately.
