Chokes For SBEII!

[Jeffrey Strother]

What is a good choke for the Super Black Eagle 2? Last year I used a comp-n-choke XXX-Full in my Remington 870 and I loved it! Is the comp-n-choke a good choke for the SBEII? I also like the Winchester Supreme Xtended Range #6s.

I use a trulock .665 with winchester #5s 3.5" This patterns well. Kicks is also making a choke for the sbeII I have one for my sbe I and it patterns awsome 35-40 hits in the kill zone at 40 yards.
the kicks choke I have is .660.

hope this will help.

The difference between a Kicks .660 for the SBE I & Kicks .660 for the SBE II is like night & day for me.

Kicks .660 for the SBE I is simply deadly.

Kicks .660 for the SBE II sucked in my gun.

I tested 7-8 different choke & load combos in my SBE II, and the only acceptable pattern was from a Rhino .660 using Win XR's #6's.

Thanks! What kind of pattern was you getting will this combo? After I posted this last night I found were you was praising that combo! I already love the XR #6s so that is good to hear.

I'll try to post some photos after this weekend.

All the chokes I tested were fine up to 30-35. Only the Rhino held up out to 40.

I was told that is was not good for a kicks choke to shoot XR shells or hevi shot or HD shells. That they are meant for lead or copper plated shot only.

is this true

The website states lead shot only.

Probably.

Even though XR is a bit softer, it is prolly the same as HS for choke purposes.

But, I read somewhere that XR is ok for some older guns. If I can find the link, I'll post it.

I called Kick's and asked. They said it's okay to shoot XR through their chokes but not hevi-shot or steel. They suggest #6 through a .660.
