  1. Just picked up a Briley .675 Crio treated tube for my SBE II at Briley Manufacturing and have not patterned it yet for turkey but i took out a bank loan cause it's a hevi-shot tube. bout 3 1/2 " #2 Nitro MAG High Velocity WaterFowl Load to see what it looks like past 50Yds and also bought a box of 3 1/2 " 1 3/4 Oz. #4's High Velocity Mag Turkey Loads will try these also at 50 + Yds i think tyhe waterfowl loads gonna patern better than the turkey load? Old Arkansas duck hunter? Thank god i got rid of my old remington shotgun and got a mule kicker!! hehe!! Benelli has the new OEM Crio Turkey tubes on their website now but they are still made by Briley! had it in 3 days!

  2. Briley makes a Turkey choke but ya gotta call them and special order the for the Crio SBE II! If ya wanta get your existing tubes Crio dipped to include Barrells,Actions, & Tubes go to 300below.com or call 1-800-276-2550 they will send a price sheet to ya that explains what needs to be done to do your Rifle, Shotguns & Tubes

  3. Best pattern i have come up with is with the Winchester 3 1/2 #5 Turkey 2 oz loads the Knight and Hale Vendor also claimed that they patterened the best also? Just finished breaking in my SBE 2 and since ya gotta treat hevi shot like ya treat steel and use the modified chokes i think i will stay with the Winchester Lead # 5's and the full choke! at 26 bucks a pop its hard to figure that they could be wice as good as the lead!! asked Benelli tech when or if they were coming out with a turkey choke for the SBE2 and he said he knew nothing about it! Ya can get a 2 or 4 shot magazine extender for them but thats about it for accessories! STICK to LEAD!! why pay almost triple the price? Remington needs to spend some of that money they get on hevi shot to build a gun that does not hang up!! hehe!!

  4. I picked up my New SBE 11 on the 9th of April and was really wanting to get an extended crio Turkey Choke that handles Remington Heavy Shot so i emailed Benelli to see what they had to say about this issue? The gunshop owner said i did not need anythingbut the full crio choke that comes with it but could not say if the hevi shot could be used with the full crio choke that comes with the shotgun! i tried a box of #4 Winchester Supreme 3 1/2 Mag 2 oz shot at 50 yds on a 100 yd rifle target and it was most definetly time to smoke a turkey! tried at 100 yds but only a dozen pellets hit the target but i had an 18 mph crosswind from rt to lt! will wait till the Albuquerque wind slows to try it again plus ya can only shoot at 25 yds, 50 yds, or 100yds, so i will go out elsewhere to dial it in! My friend from Colorado just killed a 25lb 10 1/2 bearded gobbler this morning and he said he used a 3' Remington hevi shot waterfoul #4 said about a 65 to 70 yd shot and he is using a mail order super turkey choke but forgot what kind? Oh yea the shoutgun kicks harder than my 300 wsm BAR MUCH HARDER!! will post when i hear from benelli about hevi shot chokes!

    It is hard to tell which choke to use, it depends on the load that you intend to use. I shoot hevi-shot and it cannot be shot out of an extra full choke, much the same as steel. I am a firm believer in hevi-shot, having taken a fall gobbler at a measured 72 yards. I am trying (in vain) to find a hevi-shot choke for the new SBE II. Have the gun on order, but I am told that the threading has changed and that the new choke tubes are criogenically treated like the barrel, so I am going to have to go back to lead if I get the gun in time for this springs's hunt. Anyways back on topic. The only thing you can do is to try different chokes and ammo, it gets expensive, but it is less expensive than missing a longbeard because of a mis-matched ammo choke setup. My dad uses a comp-n-choke and has had very good luck with it, also try briley, they make the extra full turkey choke for Benelli, at lest according to the catalog they do.
