Title: Choke problems super vinci
Post by: mrhays9 on April 14, 2014, 04:57:42 PM
I hope that some of you might be able to explain this to me. I bought a Jellyhead choke that was labeled for benelli and beretta. It will not thread into my barrel. I take it back to sportsman warehouse to swap for something else. While in the store we tried an HS strut and patternmaster neither would fit the barrel of the Super Vinci.

Which chokes will fit the Super Vinci?

You need to get a choke with the Crio threads. The ones marked for beretta benelli are mobile chokes, and they are different from the crio chokes. Chokes that fit the sbe2, super nova, vinci and m2 will all fit in your super vinci.

No problem. There are so many choke systems now it sure can get confusing lol! I went thru the same thing when I was first looking for chokes for my vinci. Good luck this year and...... :welcomeOG:

You already have the answer but while we're talking about "Crio" chokes for your Vinci, I'd like to add just one comment.

The counterbore of all Benelli guns, Mobil or Crio choke, requites that those chokes be very thin. The threads are also at or near the muzzle. That combination can create some problems if the owner does not keep the choke tube tight on the interior shoulder in the counterbore.

Any choke can shoot loose. When chokes are threaded at the breach end, the part of the choke barrel that seats on the interior shoulder, you may get away with a somewhat loose choke but the odds are not in your favor with chokes that thread at or near the muzzle.

Gas and/or debris or even pellets can escape around the base of the choke tube and cause lots of problems. It can cause the choke to fire form to the counterbore (making hard to remove or install) or even collapse the choke tube. It can happen with any brand of choke and neither is a good situation.

I always encourage shooters using these otherwise great guns to make sure that the choke remains hand tight. Check it often, I check mine after each shot, being very careful of course not to put my hand over the muzzle.

I have owned Benelli shotguns for a long time and like them but recognize this possibility and act accordingly.

Thanks,
