sonnyboy Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 can anybody tell me how the benelli crio xtra full turkey choke patterns compaired to the jellyhead choke 660.???thanks...sonnyboy Quote
bowhntr1980 Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 I know the jellyhead .660 patterns awesome with Hevi 13. Not sure if the crio exta full is able to shoot hevi shot so you might have more options with the jellyhead. Jellyhead is hard to beat for the money in my opinion. Quote
dawg_gone Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 I started testing the Benelli choke in a new SBE II this past weekend. I was testing against a Jellyhead .660 and a Rhino .670. I only tested the Benelli choke @ 20 yds. as I was testing diff. ammo also. The Benelli tested very favorably against the others when using the old style Rem. Hevi Shot in # 5. I need to do additional testing at other yardages with some diff. loads to get a good comparison tho. I guess I would say that testing is incomplete at this point. Quote
sonnyboy Posted March 14, 2008 Author Posted March 14, 2008 dawg gone........anything more on benelli crio xtrafull for sbeII?I hope i didn,t make a mistake ordering it for turkey with my new sbeII???...sonnyboy Quote
dawg_gone Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 Nothing more yet, haven't had time to do additional testing. I am planning to get to the range Monday w/my brother to pattern his gun for this season and will get some addt'l testing in. Will report back then. Quote
CraigL Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 I have a crio turkey choke and I don't like it. I went to a Rhino choke and I have never seen a better pattern at distance. I shoot the Nitro Ammunition triplex 2 oz loads. I took 2 birds at 50 yards last year and 1 at 84 yards. Quote
sonnyboy Posted March 15, 2008 Author Posted March 15, 2008 thanks.........just cancalled my crio xtra full turkey choke from benelli an ordered the rino choke for mySBEII also nitro 4x5x7 3 1/2 shells,....ouch! shells for this stuff is outta sight....why?hummm.told my friend that this new combo will have me shooting turkeys at 50 yrds an no loss of meat!...Ha ha ha .....he said: maybe it's going to be too tight for 25 to 30 yrds.....guess heads fly off at that range ???? sonny Quote
Honkers41 Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 i shoot a.640 Hastings out of my Turkey special mossberg...number 6 Kents Turkey load 3 inch mag 1 3/4ozs..i've shot one gobbler out to 56 yards..and it rolled him ...but remember when your shooting close with that tight choke aim at the base of the neck or you'll miss at 15 yards or less..you want more lower neck when your shooting tight chokes, just something to think about,Honkers41 P.S I am a Benelli SBE2 shooter,but use my Turkey special500...for gobblers...
