Hillbilly Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Does anyone here own a Kicks turkey choke tube. Thinking about ordering one. Thanks for all the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maytom Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Re: Kicks Choke Tubes?? I don't own one personally, but they are highly rated in the industry!! Just be sure to give them a call and ask which size choke restriction you would need for your gun and the size of shot that you plan on using. Charlie Boswell owns both Kick's and Comp-n-choke. A friend of mine know's Charlie personally, and he's a super guy to talk or deal with. http://www.kicks-ind.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex30808 Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Re: Kicks Choke Tubes?? Charlie runs a great shop. I've been there and now own a Comp-N-Choke that I bought while there. The recoil reduction from shooting the C-N-C choke verses the factory choke is unbelieveable....3.5" mags now feel like a 2 3/4" dove load!!!! Truely awesome choke.

Born2Hunt Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Re: Kicks Choke Tubes?? I own a Chomp-n-Choke and like it. If the Kick's is as good you will be very happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4Blade Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Re: Kicks Choke Tubes?? A good buddy of mine has a Kicks .655 for his 870 it patterns great with #6 shot....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex30808 Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Re: Kicks Choke Tubes?? I can second the Stardot choke...I patterned an 870 with one a few years back and it threw a great pattern all the way out to 40 yrds...but after that...the pattern started getting holes in it...

Guest jason88 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Re: Kicks Choke Tubes?? I have a kicks(shot it in a 835) awsome pattern at 20 yards it looks like you are shooting a slug gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntn4bucks Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Re: Kicks Choke Tubes?? I use to shoot a Kicks turkey choke (.665) from my Benelli SBE. It shot pretty good patterns out to 35 yards but was inconsistent at 40+ yards. I tried numerous loads with similar results. At the time, you could only use lead shot with the Kicks chokes...not hevi-shot. I'm not sure if that's still the case. I killed numerous turkeys with the choke but most of them were 30 yards or less...where I like'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slugger Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Re: Kicks Choke Tubes?? i have A KICKS 665 FOR REM 870 TRIED 5 DIFFERENT SHELLS AND WASNT VERY PLEASED. CURRENTLY SHOOT A STARDOT FROM AN 835 SHOT 1 TARGET AT 50 YDS LAST YEAR AND HAD 19 PELLETS IN THE KILL ZONE. I DONT THINK BRAND IS AS IMPORTANT AS CONSTRICTION AND LOAD.

Slugger Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Re: Kicks Choke Tubes?? thats 5 different brands of shells not 5 shots. sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParrotHead2005 Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Re: Kicks Choke Tubes?? I have a kicks 665 I believe and shoot Nitro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest B-man Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Re: Kicks Choke Tubes?? I have a jellyhead .660 for my SBE2. Ii bought it because it is specifically designed for hevi-shot. Also, if you get into shoot those high dollar Nitro Company shells, they recommend a Rhino ($100.00) or a Jellyhead ($37.00). Hense why I bought a jellyhead. I tried it this weekend with the Winchester xtended range #6s with great results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Re: Kicks Choke Tubes?? The big problem is that you need to shoot it to see what kind of pattern you will get! Not every gun is the same, even the same models from gun to gun will shoot differently! To find the best pattern you will need to do the homework! Get as many chokes you can get your hands on. Along with the many different loads to find the one that works the best! My C-N-C in my 835 can put 49 kill hits at 40 yards with Winchester Supreme's HV 3.5" #6's. But that doesnt not mean you will get the same results! You could get better, or worst with your gun! You need to run the test to find the best combo!

ljmelea Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Re: Kicks Choke Tubes?? Great company to do business with.if you don't like your results talk to charlie,he'll build you another choke.in my experience,the brand of shell needs to fit your gun as well as your choke.my benelli nova likes hevi-shot and win hi velocity,hates remington,so-so federal.i shoot both comp-n-choke and kick's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
