TOM HUNTER Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 I JUST PURCHASED A SBE II. JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE COULD GIVE ME SOME GOOD ADVICE ON A TURKEY CHOKE. I HAVE HEARD THE PATTERN MASTER WORKS REALLY GOOD. Quote
tucker301 Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 TH, I believe mudhen likes the Rhino .660's with Winchester 3.5" XR's. Given the fact that he posts more gobbler kills every year than the rest of us combined, you'd be well-advised to give them a try as well. Quote
TOM HUNTER Posted December 6, 2006 Author Posted December 6, 2006 THANKS TUCKER, THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE WHERE I LIVE WHO SWEAR BY THE RHINO Quote
tucker301 Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 Glad to help. If your family's looking for a nice gift for you for Christmas, I suggest this shirt. Quote
mudhen Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 Shot a few toms with my SBE II so far: I have found the Rhino .660 1.5" works best with Win 3.5" XR's #5's, but the Primos Jellyhead .660 works just a tad bit better with Win 3.5" XR's #6's. Both tubes and both shells travel with me everywhere I turkey hunt... mudhen - CA Quote
TOM HUNTER Posted December 7, 2006 Author Posted December 7, 2006 nice birds mudhen, thanks guys for the info Quote
Nolehole Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 Hey Mudhen, just out of curiosity; how does the Jellyhead compare to the stock crio full? Quote
mudhen Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 Hey Mudhen, just out of curiosity; how does the Jellyhead compare to the stock crio full? Dunno. I've never fired a shot through any Benelli factory choke tube. The JH shoots almost the same as the Rhino - both being .660. mudhen - CA Quote
kuke_05 Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Hello to all, I just got my SBE II as well and am kinda concerned. It sounds like no one likes the factory chokes. Is there something wrong with them? I think I am gonna get a Rhino for turkey but am unsure about waterfowl next season. Any advice would be appreciated. Please give pros and cons about factory chokes. Quote
Jack C Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 I have an early SBE and use a Rhino .640 choke for Turkey and Buckshot.It shoots both extremely tight.The Pattermaster I bought before it didn't shoot well at all.I don't know if Rhino makes the .640 tube for the Benelli anymore.If they do I'd try one if I were you.

Jack C Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Sorry about that ,I mean't to say Rhino .655 choke tube.I use .640 tubes in my card shooting guns.The .655 is awesome with buckshot and turkey loads. Quote
BARTMAN Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 mudhen will i get good patterns with other shells other than the xr's? those bad boys are high. I was wondering why I couldn't find them until i looked them up on the net Quote
HOGWILD Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Some people have nothing good to say about anything? LMAO Why would the factory tubes not be any good, i feel that they would suffice for most applications and people just want something NEW $ EXPENSIVE BUTT whats to say that aftermarket manufacturers have not done their home work and i expect the differences to marginal at best!! But i am an native arkanite and what would i know!! Quote

I was wondering why I couldn't find them until i looked them up on the net I'd try Win HV copper coated lead #5's or #6's. I've kilt a few birds with that load. I just like the XR's because they seem to have a bit more range and knockdown power. If I didn't travel to hunt and spend what little $$$ and vacation time I get, I'd shoot those HV's all day long.

jerry baker Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 try comp and choke xx full for 4 xxxfull for 5 works great with my sbe 2 Quote

But i am an native arkanite and what would i know!! + 1 (IMHO) I think the full choke that came with my SBE II is just fine. Quote
acmf74 Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 Pattern your gun with the factory full choke. If you feel you need a tighter pattern go aftermarket. Quote
jerry baker Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 i use comp and choke they have a great web page that tells the choke tube for shot size also that is all they make and have tested there tubes with benelli guns and you can call them and get advice Quote
