NYHUNTCAMP

Hi Tyson: I have heard that if you do not have a Rifled Choke Tube you would use an Improved Cylinder choke out of a Smooth Bore. The barrel I had made for my 1100 is Stamped CYL, and I can put 5 Brenneke Mags in a small pie plate @ 100. I have also heard never to use a full choke tube as it can possibly blow, but I have not verified this but it sounds reasonable. Have fun. T

Bear Baiting, I like that, here in NY you can not even put out one ear of corn for anything and BAIT is a four letter word. Most of the bear hunting is done either in the Catskills (south) or Adirondacks (north). I have never been fortunate to take a bear in all of the years I have hunted here but my father has on numerous occassions. Wish they would transplant some of the bears wreaking havoc on Jersey up here it would be nice to take one. As far as the Brenneke Slugs go, over 100 years old and invented the rifled slug. Check out thier web site and see what they say about sabot slugs. Pretty interesting. Have a great day T

No, I never thorwo away anything that pertains to my guns

Brenneke Mags

Hi Tyson, during our Southern Tier here in N.Y., it is pretty much shotgun only. I use a Rem 1100, 16 Ga. smoothbore that is like new even if it is older than me. I have been using Brenneke Magnum Slugs for over 20 years and honestly dropped all but one doe on the spot. I might be just one of those lucky people who has a gun that shoots like a miracle. But almost everyone who has switched to brenneke I know agrees. They will be devastating on bear, and as you are aware it all goes back to shot placement and being comfortable with ones gun. Good Luck Hunting T

Good Afternoon folks, I am new to the Forum, but have been following many of your posts for sometime. I have heard that changing the standard Pitcanny Rail to say a Leupold BAR One Piece Mount can cause issues (running our of elevation adjustment). I have taken off the standard Benelli tapered rail and purchased the Burris Signature Rings, with extra Offset Inserts (just in case) to mount to a Leupold BAR mount. Now if I can only get Leupold to live up to their reputation and finish my scope the way it was ordered (16 weeks), than I should be ok. Any advice concerning this? Thanks, T
