    BlackBore Chokes

    in Benelli

    Posted

    I'm a hunter and always interested in new products and, in particular, better patterning chokes. I visited your new website and noticed "steel" shot was mentioned when viewing your competition choke line, but wasn't mentioned at all for the hunting line. You might want to indicate which chokes in your hunting line are OK for "steel" and which might perform best for "steel."

     

    Just a thought!

    Hookster and StrangerDanger--Thanks for the information and link. While I haven't had any problems with the stock follower in my SBEII, these look like a higher-quality improvement. I used the link to order one of the SS followers. I'll see how it works out after it's installed and post a warning if there are any problems.

    Duggan you are an idiot. A gun malfunction is a serious problem and your sarcasm was a waste of everyone's time. Next time inquire about the model, I don't have the 18" home defense shotgun, I use mine for hunting. I'm not some gang banging drug dealer. My Smith and Wesson M&P 45 and 100 pound Doberman are all I need to keep my family safe and intruders out, so I'm not worried about the "poor person who probably just accidentally stumbled into your house to ask for a cup of sugar for his aging grandmother". Thanks for nothing, I was hoping to find a resource of knowledgeable people willing to shed some light on an issue. Don't bother responding because your views obviously stand strong with anti-gun ********. Say hi to Hilary for me and PS the Brady Bill has been up for some time which you would know if you didn't have your head up your own conceded ass. To Everyone else who had some relevant input thanks. I fixed the gun with my own "inferior, incapable, untrained criminal hands". And by the way Duggan if you took the second to check my profile you would see that I'm a Product Manager, so enjoy your waste of a life supporting people who don't support the 2nd Amendment.

     

    I almost hate to ask, but what was the "fix?" Thanks.

    VINCI!!!!!!!!!!

    Yeah I have that #9 hoppes I'll try allitle bit of the gun scrubber were you cant see the metal and test it I'ts gotta be one of those insurance things they have to put on there

     

    It's not an "insurance thing." Since the original Gun Scrubber damaged synthetics, they now have produced an additional product which they claim is safe on synthetics:

    Regardless, I believe Tucker's recommendation is the best choice. Gunscrubber was engineered to clean internal parts, not as a surface protectant.

    Another lpa ghost ring question???

    am i correct if:

     

    i impact target w/slug left of center, move rear sight left "X" amount of clicks?

     

     

    i impact target w/slug right of center, move rear sight right "X" amount of clicks?

     

    cant go to range right now, work in the way. this is driving me nuts. i wrote down my corrective clicks i thought were right so i can go back and reverse.

     

    in other words i am impacting at 7 o clock low and left of "X" ring. i moved my clicks to the right to correct this. i think i screwed up. my mind has been dwelling on this because of the costs associated with breneke slugs. also when i can hit the range it will be short and sweet as once again work in the way.

     

    really trying to do this in 5 shots or less at 25 yds.

     

    thanks for a simple explanation.

     

    Always move the rear sight in the direction you want to move the POI.

    VINCI!!!!!!!!!!

    Actually, you're lucky. I've had to purchase the gun on the first trip and wait for it to be delivered to the dealer. Then, a second trip was required to fill out the paperwork for registration after it arrived and they had the serial number. A third trip was then necessary to pick it up after the ten-day wait period.

    Steel OO Buck through Modified - GTG?

    in Benelli

    Posted

    All,

     

    Situation: M4 11707 with factory modified choke. Steel OO Buckshot (that Winchester MG stuff).

     

    Is there any risk of damage if this stuff is fired through the M4 with the above configuration? I can't see why, but I only have experience with steel bird shot, so I want to make sure pushing those big OO buck babies through won't cause any harm.

     

    Not worried about patterning in this question. Just potential for damage.

     

    Thanks!

     

    Why steel? Just curious.

    Looking at new scopes 4-12x range, any suggestions?

    I'll bet tucker's suggestion is a good one. There are definitely better prices available to someone with a little knowledge and effort.

     

    I probably wasn't clear enough. My .22-250 is my dedicated varmint rifle, shooting not larger than 3/8" groups at 100 yards. It drops coyotes in their tracks and literally "mist"-ifies ground squirrels.

     

    While my '06 was meant for big game only, I've dusted a few coyotes while big game hunting when they offered the shot when it didn't interfere with the deer/elk/antelope hunt. It shoots an honest one-hole group at 100 yards with 165 grain Hornadys. That accuracy is what prompted me to buy the Tikka .22-250. The specific .30-06 load it prefers is 57.0 grains IMR 4350 with a WLR primer and a Hornady 165 grain BTSP bullet seated just off the lands. It also shoots the Hornady 165 SST-IB bullet with the same primer/powder combo into

     

    But, I don't take the '06 out expressly to shoot varmints even though it is obviously capable of the task. I've never tried sabots.

     

    My previous primary big game/varmint combo rifle was a Remington 700 .270 with a VXIII 3.5-10AO. It's a great rifle, but I used the AO feature less, for whatever reason, than I do now. I had great success with both 130 and 150 grain bullets for deer and 100 grain bullets for varmints.

     

    This is probably more than you really wanted to know. :)

    I've had exceptional service from a half-dozen Leupold scopes. I put a VXIII 4.5-14x40AO on a Tikka .30-06 about 8 years ago for deer, elk and antelope. I liked the setup so well I bought another Tikka in .22-250 and mounted it with an identical Leupold for varmints (mostly 'yotes and ground squirrels), but also ended up using it on javelina.

     

    While the AO feature has been useful and has helped my long-range confidence, I don't use it a lot and certainly don't consider it necessary. On the other hand, the only negative I've found is the added cost. With the Tikkas, I was able to get away with the low 1" rings.

    Cleaning new M2?

    in Benelli

    What is your reason for not cleaning it before it's initial firing? I believe most would agree that it's been standard practice to clean a new gun before shooting it, and for good reason. Out-of-the-box guns have been prepared for shipment and storage, not firing; and, occasionally, have a problem or two which can be identified and corrected through initial maintenance. Whenever you do choose to initally clean your new gun, you will find lubricants and preservatives which can impede or adversely affect its function (I found heavy grease in the recoil tube of my SBEII). You might also find packaging material in inappropriate places.

     

    I agree with agm65ccip that you don't absolutely NEED to clean it before firing. But, as he also told you; cleaning it first certainly won't hurt and can prevent problems.

    New Shotgun

    In my opinion, both Mr. Mac and Novaking are right on! The key here is what do you "want." Any type of action will work just fine for turkey hunting. The type of stock is most certainly personal preference, as I have seen all stock types used effectively for every type of game you can imagine and even on the trap range (pistol-gripped 870 shooting trap last month!). On the Stoeger Vs. Benelli SBEII question, the SBEII is, in my opinion, a much higher quality gun and more versatile due to its ability to handle 3.5" loads, which some do prefer for turkey. But, as Mr. Mac states, the Benelli is considerably more expensive.

     

    Bottom line: Any of the three guns you mention will do the job just fine, and probably none better than any other. But, of the two "new" guns you're considering, the SBEII is, in my opinion, the better choice; actually, the best choice of all three for it's "versatility." But, it is all up to your personal preference.
