dukslyr77 Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 What is the best turkey choke tube to use in this gun and which shell are you using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkinslinger Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Re: Win SX2 choke tube All guns will shoot differently. I suggest you go to the NWTF site and check the shotgun section. Type in your gun in the search box and read what others have tried. This site is a wealth of info. It will give you a start point. Enjoy!

Exturkinator Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Re: Win SX2 choke tube I use a SX2 (26 in barrell) for turkey hunting - I use a Primos jellyhead with 3 1/2" Winchester extended range #5 (initially used Rem Hevishot when I first got the gun, but found far better patterns with Win extended)... I absolutely love it. Strut10 also hunts with an SX2 - he'll stop in here and tell you his combination soon I suspect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Re: Win SX2 choke tube SX2 26" Comp-N-Choke XXX-Full Winchester Supreme 3 1/2" 2oz. #6 shot Very reliable combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exturkinator Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Re: Win SX2 choke tube As an aside, my combo patterns visibly better with #5 than with #6 - just shows you that different set ups act differently, even with the same base gun... You'll have find the combo that works for you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Turkey_Hunter_4_U Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Re: Win SX2 choke tube [ QUOTE ] SX2 26" Comp-N-Choke XXX-Full Winchester Supreme 3 1/2" 2oz. #6 shot Very reliable combo. [/ QUOTE ] I don't shoot a Win., but I do shoot a Comp-n-Choke and I have been nothing but pleased with it's performance. Check out there web site, they recommend which choke to use, depending on the shot size you perfer. I use their XX-Full and Win. Supreme #4 (heavy hitting at added distance) and was treated to the Win. Extended Range #5 the last 2 years, they shot well out of the choke tube also. These choke tubes have a rifle like pattern at close range (0-15 yards), so make sure you pattern you gun before opening day. Good hunting and "Shoot'em in the head' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to shoot a Browning Gold which is the same gun. I shot a Mad Max .670 tube with Remington 3" hevi shot 6. This was a very deadly combo. As I'm sure you know, your gun is back bored which means the inside diameter of the barrel is larger than the normal 12 gauge bore. As a rule of thumb, back bored guns don't require as much constriction in the choke. Having said that, a Browning BPS with a .640 choke has been used to win the NWTF still target competition in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullfan Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Re: Win SX2 choke tube I have had good luck with the Tru-Glo shooting 3.5 Winchester Ex-ramge #6. But have jumped on the nitro train now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
