wbn3 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I just purchaed a SBEII and need advice on a choke tube. I plan to use Hevi-Shot. I do not want to purchase a lot of tubes to experiment. I would like a good place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hognutz Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Mudhen put me onto Indian Creek. He has tested them all at least once and swears by Indian Creek. I purchased one last week, but have not gotten the Hevi 13 #6 to shoot out of it yet. So my testing will have to wait until I get the shells. I think it would be a great place to start. Mudhen puts his time in on patterning. I would take his advice anytime...Good luck. http://www.indiancreekss.com/home.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novaking Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 If you don't want to spend 100 bucks on a choke, try going with the jellyhead choke. Indian creek chokes are great but there are good chokes out there for less. Other chokes: carlson briley comp-n-choke all will get the job done.

Money well spent for around $40. The Indian Creek choke matches up better with the EM H-13 #6's in my opinion. You might want to drop a dime and call Stuart and/or Mike at Indian Creek and ask them what they would recommend for your SBE II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugmeister Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 If you want a great performing choke for under $30 get Carlson's extended full choke (.695). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyson129 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 If you want a great performing choke for under $30 get Carlson's extended full choke (.695). Agreed, but all of the before mentioned chokes are very nice, when paired with the right gun and ammo. Remember that even though you may have the same gun, it can perform differently with identical setups. They are all a little different, kinda like fingerprints. Good Luck!

slugmeister Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 If you want the most bang for your buck, get the carlson extended choke, but a $80-$100 Indian Creek will give better performance. But like tyson said, with the right combo, the carlson might be better, you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
