mudhen Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 My brand new Tru-Glo SSX TG154X choke does not fit in my Benelli SBE II Not even close. Similar reports are showing up at the N W T F website. I hope I'm wrong, but I predict that when I contact Tru-Glo today, they will not reply or reply that they can't do anything until after turkey season, and I'll end up returning the choke to Cabela's for credit. Too bad. I have heard so much about this tube. I'll just stay with my Primos Jellyhead for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 What seems to the issue? Thread depth, thread count, recess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Gauge Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 thanks for the info mudhen! i hope to test a MadMax2 choke in my SBE2 as soon as we get some decent weather here in ohio.....this tube came from cabela's last week and is non-ported and fit perfectly....part number is MD-11099 and it is a .660"......i selected this choke for 2 reasons, 1.) it has a 1-1/2" long constant constriction which should improve pattern density. 2.) it was CHEAP, less than $20! the boys at Nitro have been testing the MadMax2 alongside a .665" JellyHead, and a Rhino .660" so far the MM2 is getting better results than the Rhino and about the same as the JellyHead.....their test gun is a 21" Remington so i expect tottally different results in my 28" SBE2! i have a SuperMax "ported" choke that patterns great in my 3" Encore....it is an ugly choke with long narrow slots cut in the same direction the shot travels but i think this "grabs" the wad and produces a better pattern. i don't know who makes these chokes for MAD but the quaility is exceptional....SuperMax chokes are about $80 but i don't think they make one for SBE2's yet?!?!

mudhen Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 It goes in a few turns and then just stops. You can armstrong it a few more turns, but it will not come close to seating. It appears that the choke is too large for the barrel ID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
