Rifled chokes are a stop gap. They work...kind of. Rifled slugs on their own work better. Knowing how expensive the rifled barrels are for Benellis, a cheeper second gun may be a better(or at least cheeper) choice.

Don't waste your money on a rifled choke tube. I've learned this one for you. I could shoot at least as well with an improved cylinder in. The key is anything short of a full rifled barrel shoot slugs. Rifled barrel shoot high quality sabots. I've been very happy with Rem copper solids but will be looking into Winchester high performace sabots.

Back when I was still shotgun hunting I tried a rifled choke tube on my scoped Remington 11-87. I was less than pleased with the accuracy of the tube. I bought a Hastings rifled barrel from Cabelas and was amazed at the accuracy of it. My suggestion, don't buy a rifled choke tube if you can afford a rifled barrel. In my experience there was no comparison in the accuracy. Good Luck.

Thanks for your info. I've heard some pro's and con's on the subject, but overall I have heard enough con's to steer clear of the tubes. I probably will be in the market for a used 1100 (12 or 20). Need to sell an 870 combo first. A new rifled barrel for my Benelli is out of the question.$$$$

Re: Thanks
Before you sell that 870 combo try this. I shoot an 870 with the 18 inch smooth bore barrel with fiocchi 2 3/4 aeroslugs and it is accurate for a shotgun. It will shoot 2 to 3 inch groups at 100 yards. I have friends that I have converted to the same setup. These slugs perform awesome and they are only $2.5o a box!! Try it out you will not be let down!
