Weatherby Choke Tube

[msm210]

Just picked up Weatherby SA459 today and am planning on shooting Federal TSS #9 shells.  I've read a lot of good reviews on the Sumtoy and IC chokes, along with the Carleson.

Based on gun/ammo above, which choke to go with?

Thanks for your help!

Flip a coin. Probably not going to be a big difference between the 3 of them.

Was looking at getting a Weatherby myself.  They are weird with choke compatibility. 
The standard sa-459 uses a Beretta/Benelli Mobil Choke pattern.
The "Turkey Xtra Green" sa-459 uses a win choke pattern.
Not sure why they do this.
Make sure you get the right one.

I hunt with the 459 a good bit.  It really depends how tight of a core you want.  The IC and ST will provide very hot cores, such as 350ish+ in the 10 with fairly thin 10-20 counts.  The factory choke in mine did just over 300 with 200-230 in the 10-20. The Carlson .575 is about the same as the factory choke.  The cheap Primos TW .570 does fairly well and is a bit tighter than the stock choke.

I have the SA 459 with the win, inv, Mossberg thread pattern. I have a Down-N-Dirty Haymaker( was made by Indian Creek) .560 and an IC BDS in .555. Both have hot cores and are very tight at 40 with the Federal TSS 9's. I also tried a Carlson Long Beard choke(.568 I believe) with the pattern opening up to a more forgiving spread marginally. I hunted with the IC.

PS...I never counted numbers, but each one was beyond awesome and effective. My buddy has the Sumtoy .562-5 that was wicked good. The constrictions ranging from .555-562 showed very little difference. In my testing, the .575 range was when I saw less of the hot core(naturally) and more of the evenness of a spread out 20" numbers. I'm a fan of the hot core pattern personally.

Thanks for the information; probably going to get either the IC or Sumtoy in .562 at the NWTF show if the sell them.

If you ever get the urge to part with that haymaker, give me a call.
