RE: chokes

[greyhoundlover4life]

:confused: i just bought a NOVA and i love it. it's 12. ga. and the place i bought it said modified is ok for slugs. but the benelli web site recommends cylinder choke... is modified alright for slugs or do i need to order a cylinder choke. if so where do i order one?

Hello GreyHoundLover,
I would not suggest using a modified choke for shooting slugs. Improved Cylinder would be your safest bet. You should be able to pick up a IC at any sporting goods store. It may not be a Benelli choke however, other companies make chokes adaptable to your Benelli shotgun.

Oshkosh Wis., I have a friend that was raised there. He talks about how it was awsome hunting for deer, partridge, phesents, and huge squirrels.
Hows the hunting now?

Hey guys!............Be aware,if you don't already know, that the old Benelli/Beretta chokes that have always been interchangable, are no longer such! The threads in the new Benelli generation of guns are different, but the old factory chokes will still fit the newer Beretta guns!

if you dont use clylinder chokes then you are running a big chance of bulging the barrell. As we all know a tighter choke "shrinks" the size of the barrel. So with a slug that fits the diameter of the barrel, or a sabot slug, you run the risk of damaging something. Go to your benelli dealer and order a cylinder choke. A cylinder choke is no choke at all, it is the same diameter as the rest of the cylinder. I bet you can also order one on the site here
