blaino45601 Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 I just bought a SBE II and notice plugs in top of barrel are these to be driven out or drilled for scope mounting? Can anybody recommend a turkey choke for it? Quote
Turkeyfreak Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 Blaino yes the SBE II is tapped for scope mounting. As far as turkey chokes there is an almost infinite number of choices. I bought a ported choke tube from ballistic specialties. They are listed as angleport.com. Quote
blaino45601 Posted February 21, 2005 Author Posted February 21, 2005 Turkeyfreak, Thanks for the info, but I can't tell how the plugs come out. I'll check out the chokes. I use a Kicks tube in my SP10 and it made a heck of a difference. I'm not sure if they make one for the new Benellis. Quote

ESSO Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 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! Quote
ESSO Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 Have a stupid question on the dual sights on my SBE II, was told at my local skeet range to stack the 2 sights front on top and small middle one on bottom which seems to work , just curious if anyone has input on this? Quote
mudhen Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 Almost every major choke co. now has a turkey choke for the SBE II; Kicks Comp-n-Choke Briley Cabelas Terror Wad Wizard Pure Gold etc.... Terror is getting good reviews - .655 I think the tap plugs are plastic or epoxy or something. I won't pull them out unless I need to. The trap/skeet figure 8 would make my gun shoot high - I block out the red with the silver and the gun shoots where I aim.... mudhen - CA Quote
Mark T Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 Kicks has 3 or 4 different chokes for the SBEII ,as well does Pure Gold and Rhino . Quote
blaino45601 Posted March 11, 2005 Author Posted March 11, 2005 Hey Esso let me know when you pattern your setup. In Ohio we usually don't get that many long shots but you just never know. Quote
ESSO Posted March 12, 2005 Posted March 12, 2005 i will be hunting in NM and CO and ya gotta good chance of a long shot but just curious how far is too long? will find out this weekend after i get my Bass Tracker ready for Spring fishing trip to Elephant Butte! Quote
3blaser Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 OK, maybe a dumb question...any suggestions on what bases to use for scope mounting on the SBE II? I haven't found them listed anywhere yet. What will work? Quote
hard-core_waterfowler Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 i would say you wouldnt want to shoot past 40-45 yards. why would you want a scope for turkey hunting ive never heard of that. i just shoot open sights. and the best choke i have ever used was a kicks for my sp10. Quote
