Anyone used them to good (or bad) effect? Tell all, before I plunk down $30+ on one to try it...

[Dave McCracken]

Yes. Number Two, my venison getter, has a rifled tube in during the season. With the slug of choice,1 oz KO Brenekkes, things run under 4" at 100 yards with the peep sight and good bench technique.

[Jeff F]

One of the best things they ever came out with for slug shooters. I really like the Remington extended rifled choke tube. And it doesn't do a bad job with the sabot slugs either although I have only shot a couple of boxes of the sabots.

[VARifleman]

Depends what ammo you want to use. I just use Brennekes and Remington Sluggers, so I don't need a rifled choke and am getting 6" center to center accuracy at 50 yards offhand. I have not tried them at longer distances or in another position yet.

[Jeff F]

If you get the chance to try one do so. I would be willing to bet that you would cut those groups in half if not better. Brennekes are my hunting load. I shoot a lot of the Remington's, Federals and Winchesters.

[Der Verge]

Of course, I have not tried mine with the Brennekes yet, though they are in the safe. N E Way, I have both an 870 and 11-87 both in 12 ga. The rifled choke tube in either gun has made no difference either way for Buckhammers, any type of sabot slug I have tried, or Winchester rifled slugs. Groups are lousy with any of the above. I think that the rifled tube is a crap shoot. It might, or might not. Guess that is why I only take the muzzle loader out anymore.

I dont see the point of them . I have shot groups that touch at 50 yards tho with a bead sight on an old 590 , my current 1100 does little looser if i do my part . They dont do a thing for accuracy imho , and dont do a thing for performance either .

[Mannlicher]

you won't regret spending the money if you ever get a chance to use that rifled tube on a hog or deer !

[JNewell]

My results agree with Dave's. Much tighter groups - highly recommended. BTW, I have also found that the FN SLP that is so-fitted shoots good buck loads about as tightly at 20-25 yards with the rifled tube as with an IC or Cyl tube. (In other words, the rifled tube does not degrade buck performance at reasonable ranges.)

I like them and they work well with the right ammo

[Jack2427]

Rifled "choke tubes" should be treated just like a rifled barrel. That is, you will get best results using sabot rounds through them-asssuming that the tube is properly sized for sabots. I have rifled tubes for my Winchester and Browning and FN shotguns. The tubes are properly sized and will give near rifled barrel performance out to 80-100 meters, depending on ammo/tube selection. The rifled tube extension, just like a rfiled barrel will "like" some brands of ammo betteer than others. Winchester Gold sabots seem to work well in my Browning and FN, but not my Winchester-strange considering the Winchester and FN are identical. My Browning is an A-Bolt by the way, and with its rifled tube it will shoot with my A-Bolt rifled barrel out to 90 meters, after which the rifled A-Bolt keeps on going giving rifle like accuracy to 170 meters. I guess the old saw, smooth bore/rifled slugs, rifled bore/sabot slugs still holds true.

[JNewell]

Could be, but the rifled tube made a huge difference for me shooting regular Foster slugs, so I'd recommend giving it a try.
