redrumtc Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) I just bought a M2000 and,I was woundering if the turkey choke it comes with it good or is there a better one to use in it to get a better pattern out of it.. Thanks Edited January 22, 2010 by redrumtc Quote
ishootkittens Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) welp, i would try the factory choke first. you may be suprised. you may get a good pattern and you might be content with it. If not... then i would try a carlsons extended turkey chokes, h.s. undertaker, primos tight wad. Those are just some cheap ones that ive tried. If you wanna see my patterns with the h.s. undertaker then give me a pm. ill send em to ya! if you have any questions feel free to HOLLA Edited January 22, 2010 by ishootkittens Quote
redrumtc Posted January 22, 2010 Author Posted January 22, 2010 can you show me the target and what shells were you shooting Quote
ishootkittens Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 that was with a h.s. undertaker 665 with federal flightcontrol #4 shot. (3.5 inch), but that was at 30 yards, and i plan on shooting some #5 because they say it patterns better, who knows if it will pattern better than that. The wad was what made that huge hole. im sure some shot went through as well, but most of the hole was the wad! it stuck in the back of the target. the target was placed on plywood. Quote

That away kitten, knock the turkey out with the wad, then attack!! Quote
ishootkittens Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 that was my plan all along! haha that way i can daze it with the wad and then stab it in the face while its concussed. haha but im going to head to the mountains after it stops snowing here and ill be trying some #5 in the same ammo. im going to see if we cant get a better pattern. and to prove to a certain few that that pattern is not fake! haha Quote
ishootkittens Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 nah.. i have scope. If i had been shooting with just a regular bead i would be more proud of the shot. but i would expect nothing less from ANYONE who shotguns with a scope Quote

Thanks How much do you want to spend? What is your range goal? 30 yards? 35? 40? With more info, I can try to give a decent reply Quote
redrumtc Posted January 26, 2010 Author Posted January 26, 2010 Well with doing alot of looking around I have come up with this combo H.S. undertaker hevi choke tube .655 with hevi13 3in 6 shot 1 5/8 oz. What do you think? I will also test the factory one too.. Quote
ishootkittens Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 i think that may be a good setup. 655 is pretty tight. I think it was a good choice going with the 6's. but try 2 ounces of shot. you get alitle more pellets in the air. but that is if your gun will shoot 3.5's. Quote
tjbrown Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 How much do you want to spend? What is your range goal? 30 yards? 35? 40? With more info, I can try to give a decent reply 80 yds or better, price dont matter Quote

CH/QuakerBoyProstaff Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Yes, I would like to know the choke that holds tight pattern at 60-80yards. does anyone know the best choke for that ? (i am mostly shooting at raven) Just get you one of these, get them closer, and use a Mod choke. http://www.quakerboy.com/productdetail.cfm?product_id=399 Quote

ishootkittens Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 i still cant get over it.. 60-80 yards.. NEVER SHOOT A TURKEY FROM THAT RANGE DAMNIT! and i took a look at those shells. I may have to get some of em! Quote
hognutz Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Yes, I would like to know the choke that holds tight pattern at 60-80yards. does anyone know the best choke for that ? (i am mostly shooting at raven) That would be a slug... Quote
ishootkittens Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 **** i feel fortunate to get 80 yards with slugs compared to 80 yards with turkey loads. Whoever told this boy to shoot a turkey at 80 yards needs to be shot. Quote
needinga8gauge Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 maybe he been on old gobbler? . Quote

(i am mostly shooting at raven) In all fairness, he did say that he would be shooting raven, mostly. He never really said he was going to use it for thunder chickens..Mike Quote
birddog2 Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 The full choke that came with my 2000, shoots way better then the so-called turkey choke that came with it. Killed 10 birds in the last 5 years with it and cheap 2oz winchester 3" loads Quote
