dogdoc Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Re: kicks choke tubes? .665 or .655 .670 #4 lead .665 #5 lead .660/.655 #6 lead That is just a general suggestion. If you are going to use #4 or #5 then I would go with the .665 and if shooting #6 then go with the .655 good luck todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KYLimbHanger Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Re: kicks choke tubes? .665 or .655 Kick's Gobbling Thunder and Comp-N-Choke choke tubes are made by the same company. I have a Comp-N-Choke .655 and it shoots really good. My hunting buddy just got the Kick's GT but we haven't patterned it yet. He got it in .655 also. I would say the .655 would be the route to take. We will shoot this weekend. I will give you an update on how his Kick's GT does. Oh yeah, we both have 870's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo_hunter Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Re: kicks choke tubes? .665 or .655 I have a kicks .655 that I used with my benelli, now going to use it with my Franchi 912. Anyway Kicks told me this diam. choke will pattern the best with #6 shot. Also to shoot no more than 2oz of shot unless your gun is backbored. I had a nice pattern with my Nova 118 in a 10 inch circle at 40 yards with winchester supreme #6 3.5inch. With the #5 3.5 inch fed. and the winchester supreme #5 3.5 inch around 90-95 hits at 40 yards. I talked with a guy at kicks yesterday he told me a .665 would pattern # 5 much better than the .655. also that a 3 inch may shoot a better pattern than a 3.5 inch. to try both. Now I'm waiting for a nice day to pattern my new gun I have all the shells to try. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DaHunter Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Re: kicks choke tubes? .665 or .655 I would suggest a kicks .655 i shoot 3.5" 2 1/4oz loads just fine, with 4 5 and 6 shot. Great choke thats for sure its outta a rem 11-87. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntn4bucks Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Re: kicks choke tubes? .665 or .655 I've killed many turkeys with a Kick's GT choke tube in .665 constriction with Winchester Supreme 3 1/2" #5s. It was used in a Benelli SBE. Just remember that the choke is not approved for Hevi-shot if you ever choose to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maytom Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Re: kicks choke tubes? .665 or .655 I agree with dogdoc's post!! The .665 choke restriction is the most popular of the bunch, especially with shooting #5's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Re: kicks choke tubes? .665 or .655 If you're shooting #5's and leaning toward #4's as an alternative try the .665". If you're shooting #5's and leaning toward #6's as an alternative (which I would recommend), then try the .655" tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nubs Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Re: kicks choke tubes? .665 or .655 I have been using the Kick's GT .665 for about 2 or 3 years now. I like the choke, it patterns well. I shoot 5's or 4x6 duplex loads in 3 inch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maytom Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Re: kicks choke tubes? .665 or .655 Remember, #4's will hit the hardest, but there isn't as many pellets inside the shell compared to the other two. While #6's have the most shot inside per Oz, they still don't hit as hard as #5's or #4's!!! I'd personally go with #5's and get the best of both worlds. Better energy levels than #6's and better patterns than #4's!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
