SSX Question

[alclark2]

I read earlier on a different post about there being 2 SSX chokes. One being the TRUGLO Strut Stopper Extreme and another SSX that is rare and the original which sounds like a choke tube collector item. Does the TRUGLO shoot good or what? I ordered a TRUGLO SSX for my 835 thinking it was the correct choke but I'm unsure now. Could anyone clear this up for me?

The original was not called a SSX.  SSX is the abbreviation for the currently produced Strut Stopper Extreme.

I believe the original was called the TruGlo Strut Stopper by Bansner, or something like that.  No X or Extreme in the name.

Right on the money, 870.  The old Strut Stopper had a .665 constriction for most applications.  I'm not sure what it was for the Mossberg Ulti-Mag chokes.

Sounds good! Thanks for clearing that up. I've read a lot of people putting up some great numbers with their SSXs so I bought one. I read that post and thought I bought the wrong choke.

Originally, the SSX was called the Strut Stopper Xtreme. It was officially renamed to SSX with "Strut-Stopper Xtreme" still on the package as an identifier.

You ordered the correct choke for your 835.

The older Bansner Chokes are indeed collector items today.

Thanks,
