Wirenut Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Was wondering if anyone has tried extended choke tubes, aftermarket, etc. on their Benelli's. Was maybe going to try one, just am really wondering do they actually help pattern, muzzle jump, recoil as stated ? Was "Maybe" leaning towards a "Comp-N-Choke"......Thanks, Bruce.

midalake Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hi Bruce, Choke tubes in my opinion DO NOT reduce felt recoil. Now about tubes for pattern. If you are trying to put more shot 8 or 7 1/2 on your trap or clays targets then a extended choke may help this. In a hunting load, most pattern experts will tell you an extended choke makes no difference, the difference in pattern has much more to do with the size of the tube. If you want to reduce felt recoil get some weight in the back of your stock, I have a M-1 and in my opinion way too light. I have the stock loaded with lead. Dave Lower dram charge, Lower shot charge, heavier gun are the only way to reduce felt recoil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a set of Briley's for M2. They were bought to be used in sporting clays etc. I have never patterned them or compared them to the flush chokes that came with the gun. They are just more convenient than the flush ones. They are not ported. I feel that is just marketing and I did not want to lighten my wallet any more than needed. All of my guns except my 16 guage wingmaster have extended choke. The only reason is that I have not found any for this gun with out going for custom chokes.

HOGWILD Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 couple threads http://www.benelliusa.com/forum/search.php?searchid=96760 they all shoot different in every gun so homework is involved but my home work sent me to www.primos.com http://www.benelliusa.com/forum/search.php?searchid=96765 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH/QuakerBoyProstaff Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Are the tubes for clays or hunting,Wirenut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOGWILD Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 primos tubes hunting mostly, i would use supplied chokes for range shooting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH/QuakerBoyProstaff Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I'm trying to figure out what wirenut wants them for.He never specified.I used the Primos Tightwad last season for turkeys with great results.This year I'll be using the new Truglo Strut Stopper Xtreme.It has internal grooves and porting.I hope to get some more productive patterning sessions starting in Dec.

dagrizz Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Are the tubes for clays or hunting? I use mine for both huntig and clay target games. Briley said that up through mod are ok for steel above that they do not recceomend it. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWEIII Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I use mine for both huntig and clay target games. Briley said that up through mod are ok for steel above that they do not recceomend it. Mike Hmmm, they told me the IM was ok for steel as well. Been running up to BBB through the X2 IM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOGWILD Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Benelli does not reccomend it thru an IM tube, that's why everyone goes to aftermarket tubes that can shoot the hybrid shot! read manual no steel & no Hevi in an IM whats to not understand?

RWEIII Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 That is correct, Benelli and Beretta state "No Steel" (and one would assume any other no-tox shot) through their IM and F chokes. I bought the Briley X2 Extended chokes in LM (to fill the gap in factory tubes) and IM to tighten up steel and other no-tox patterns at longer ranges.

RWEIII Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 What gun? I like the factory tubes in my SBEII but I do see a little better patterns with the Briley X2's over the "mobil" chokes. Are you not happy with the patterns you are getting now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
