What choke is the best for a SBE

[WW]

I just got a H&K Super Black Eagle... For those of you who own this gun, what's the tightest turkey choke that you've tried? I shoot Hevi Shot #6 but have to buy a new choke.

Take a good, long loom at the Pure Gold .670.  I get an avg 250/10" at 40 yards in my SBE II with that choke and I have tried a bunch to get those #'s...

Heard good things about the pure gold and Indian creek.  I have a jelly head in mine and it does the job.

What brand and size shells do you shoot?

[mightyjoeyoung]

3.5" straight hevi 6s.  3" 6s give me an honest 200 avg through the PG.

I have an SBE H&K too. I currently 3.5" Hevi #7. I am thinking about trying some 3" Hevi 2 oz #7 and Winchester HTL #6. My choke of choice is a Sumtoy.

Congratulations! I've owned one of those guns since 1991. The original barrel was 26" and over the years I also bought 24" and 28" barrels for it. As you know, the bore on that gun is much tighter than many others and the H&K guns can have barrels that are much tighter than the later guns. My original 26" has an i.d. of .719 as I recall.

I've shot chokes as tight as .640 and regularly shoot a .643 choke. I get good patterns however with chokes up to .655-.656. It really all depends upon the design, internal geometry, of the choke. I get my best results with 3" Hevi-13 with 2 oz. of #6 or #7 shot.

That SBE is such a great gun and I hope you enjoy yours as much as I've enjoyed mine over the years.

Thanks,
Clark

Yup.  I forgot that the old H&K's were a tighter bore!  I would look into the .650-.660 as well...

I shoot a .650 Sumtoy out of mine with 3.5" WXRHD 6's with great results

I had great results in mine with a .650 Ballistic Specialties turkey choke.  I would suggest a .650 Sumtoy

I got my SBE in 1994, I use a Rhino Choke tube .673 with 3'' Heavy 13 #6 shells.

Good Luck!
