I shoot Win Extended Range 6's through a GThunder 665. No issues. Kicks is a meaty choke and I don't care what anybody says, not only will it handle heavier than lead, but it out-performed the jellyhead and Indian creek in my 870. Killed 19 turkeys so far with this setup.

Yep I've never ran another choke brand that was as consistent with a variety ofshells as a kicks. I dont think I'll ever own a gun that doesn't have a gobblin thunder that fits in it.

In mt opinion, if the owner would put Hevi approved on his package he would be top of the line once again.

:agreed:A buddy of mine has been shooting Hevi through a Kicks in a SBE for years, with no problems. It throws some awesome patterns as well!

Right on Rockhound.  I cant imagine how many chokes were not sold because of this.
