RIFLED CHOKE TUBE

[sc1911cwp]

I recently purchased a Rem Super Mag 12 gauge for general hunting. I anticipate I will use both OO Buckshot and slugs at some point depending upon the habitate. I would like to avoid buying a seperate rifeled barrel. It has been suggested that I purchase a rifled choke tube to use with the slugs. I understand the performance will be different, but will the choke work well enough? TNX

you could also use rifled slugs.

The rifled choke tubes are made for the sabot style slugs. The normal slugs that are bore diameter are usually forster style slugs that have rifleing grooves already on them but are swaging points for when it forces it's way through the choke restriction of the shotgun. Very little if any effect on spinning the slug with forster style slugs, they are just designed to stabilize themselves and shoot good.

If you plan to use the high dollar sabot style slugs, you will need a rifled barrel or choke tube to get any accuracy out of them. If you shoot buck out of the rifled chokes they will produce poor patterns.

But with sabot slugs they usually work very well for hunting. They take the 'fliers' out of groups 50-100 yards.

One of my slug shooters has a rifled tube. Currently, KO Brenekkes are the most accurate in it and by the wildest chance, also the most accurate in my other peep sighted 870, Number One. It has a cylinder barrel.

The rifled tube gives about 4 1/4" ETE groups at 100 yards. The old Cylinder bore about 5". The ones from the rifled tube are keyholing less, though all the holes are tilted a bit.
