Title: Just got a Stoeger M3500
Post by: BlakeJ on February 08, 2014, 05:34:46 AM
24" barrel. Does it use the same chokes as my SBE2?

What choke and load combo works best with it?

NO IT DOES NOT USE THE SBE II CHOKES

The Stoeger uses the Beretta/Benelli Mobile Chokes.

^This... I called William at Sumtoy Customs & told him the shell I was thinking of using and he advised me on a choke constriction & then made it for me. He is great to deal with and wont do you wrong. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.....

I think this gum uses the benelli/berretta chokes. It's almost the same gun gun as a SBE which is what I shoot with a sumtoy 650.

Yes it uses the Mobil choke system. Same bore size as all other benellis.

I will suggest a SumToy .650 w/ Beretta/Benelli threads and some of the new Winchester Longbeards!!  Give William a call at SumToy and he will be glad to point you in the right direction!  :icon_thumright:

I have a number of readers who shoot that gun with excellent results. They have been very successful with Hevi-Shot products, Hevi-13 in #6 & #7 and Magnum Blend shells. The Hevi-13 Turkey choke with a .656 exit diameter has worked well for them. There are others as has been indicated but all things being equal, chokes with similar e.d.s seem to work best.

Thanks,
Clark
