Benelli Vinci Factory Chokes

[BP1992]

The Vinci comes with 5 different factory choke tubes.  Does anyone know the constrictions on these?  I'm wanting to know which ones are for tight patterns and which ones are for more open patterns.

The Vinci comes with 5 different factory choke tubes.  Does anyone know the constrictions on these?  I'm wanting to know which ones are for tight patterns and which ones are for more open patterns.

Benelli uses a notch system on the muzzle end with the full choke having 1 notch, Improved Modified  2, Modified 3, Improved Cylinder 4 and Cylinder Bore 5. Those chokes are also marked "steel" or "no steel" and each will have a corresponding number of *s on the barrel of each choke to indicate the amount of constriction.

Full should be about .685 and Cylinder Bore about .729. So, your Full choke  with one notch and one * is the tightest and the Cylinder Bore with five notches and five *s is the most open.

I hope that helps.

Thanks,

Can they be used with Hevi Shot?

You're welcome.

Yes you can use them however it's very important with that design to make sure your chokes are fully installed and seated on the interior shoulder of the counterbore. It's possible to damage your chokes and/or your barrel if they are loose when you shoot.

I much prefer extended chokes and see much better patterns from them.

Thanks,
