Title: Berretta Extrema 2 - Which choke.
Post by: h2ofowlr on October 19, 2011, 11:17:36 PM: I picked up the kicks high flyer mod choke. I wasn't getting the results at the further distances that I was used to. Does anyone have a good one that has performed well out past the decoys. It will be good for 20 yards and under, but I like those more challenging shots.

Post by: ~GooseDown~ on October 20, 2011, 05:47:11 AM: I'll concure with those fellas. I had a pattern master in mine for awhile, but wasn't really pleased with the less than 30 yard shots. So I bought the kicks full and haven't taken it outta the gun since. Good for the closeups, and great on the 50 yarders.

Y'all already know, every gun is different. I shoot a SBE II.

Having been on this forum for a few years now, you haven't seemed like a guy struggling to put birds on the groove. So why the switch? New gun?

At any rate, good luck with the search!

Post by: Cut Em on October 23, 2011, 07:10:10 PM: What load are you running through your gun? I have the extrema 2 and run the pattern master. I shoot 3in 1 1/4 oz 2's @ 1450 fps. I used to be a firm believer in "speed kills" but my shots to kills ratio has improved with the bigger payload. I shoot kent to keep the cost down.

I haven't tried the IC with BC at this time. Just trying to get it dialed in. I have a shelf full of various aftermarket chokes for my other guns and figured I would throw it out and pick a choke based on good info I could pick up. I think I am going to hit the pattern boards mid week.
