Choke for SBE II

bangbird · Feb 16, 2017

So a couple weeks ago I was asking options on 11-87s after my Benelli M2Field was stolen. Well I just loved my Benelli so much I didn't want to buy something else and not be happy. So I bought a new SBE II in bottomland camo. My local gun store was running a sell for $1399.

I did a search and read some older post but would like some fresh data.

Any SBE guy's out there? What's a good Choke and Shell combo?

I guess now I can shoot 3 1/2 if I choose.

In my M2 Field I was shooting a Rhino .660. I liked it but unfortunately it was stolen with the gun. May go back to Rhino but looking for some other suggestions.

Thanks

I found the kicks gobblin thunder does really wel in my SBE. It likes 3" shells better than 3.5's also

I would call William at Sumtoy. I'm sure he'll have some solid advice for you

I've got the same gun, I tried an Indian Creek, Kicks and a Sumtoy, the Sumtoy is what is in the gun. The Indian Creek shot 2nd best and Kicks GT was 3rd. Patterned with Mag Blends and Longbeards
They all shot well, but overall the patterns were better with the Sumtoy.

Now, my Dad has an older SBE II and the Kicks GT shoots best in his gun, but he is still shooting Winchester Extended Range #4s and doesn't plan to change unless he runs out of them

Are you shooting 3 1/2 inch?

I hunt with a sbe, use factory full choke shooting nitro Turkey 3.5". Works good for me

This. I've had a Sumtoy in my SBE2 for years now. It flat out the best you can buy. William is the best in the business. Give him a call

Great choice on the gun. I like the Indian Creek Chokes.

BIGGUS · Feb 16, 2017

I use an Indian Creek .665 in mine.

3" Hevi shot magnum blend #5,6,7 with .660 jellyhead choke, I had gone to an event at a wma by the NWTF where numerous chokes and shells could be mixed and matched and fired at targets with your personal gun. Best match for my gun.

Indian Creek .665 with 3" Hevi-13 2 oz. #6's is what mine likes. It's a deadly combo. Most birds will take a nice back flip for you!

I have a Carlson's in mine, works great with red box Federals with the Flite Control wad.

Luke0927 · Feb 20, 2017

Indian Creek .665 here also shoots, Longbeard and Heavy shot very well.

I shoot a SBE 2 and love it. I am shooting a 660 JEBS in mine and it does really well. Shooting 3.5 inch longbeard 6's.

My gun like that one too, .680 I think, but I'm not one to go spend close to a hundred on a new choke just to try it when I know what I got will roll one
