Default Choke Tubes
I bought a Super Black Eagle II yesterday and was wondering if any of you guys have had any experience with the aftermarket choke tubes.

I bought a patternmaster for my extrema2 and I thought it was a waste of money. I didnt see any improvements. others swear by em but I was not impressed at all.

Warren did you pattern the gun at different ranges with the stock tubes and the patternmaster? I have never done this but after reading it makes pretty good sense. They also say shooting different brands of shells through the same gun will give different patterns. Kind of like rifles can like a certain brand of ammo better than another. Which patternmaster did you purchase?

no I didnt, I think I got the midrange. I ended up shooting blackclouds with my IC stock choke and am very satisfied with that combo.

What length barrel did you go with? You got this for ducks or clays? How far is your target usually?

I have a kicks vortex for a sbe 2 I will sell for $40 plus shipping... I paid $60 for it and it works well I just decided I didn't want to pay for black clouds. I only used it for a couple of hunts

Ross, I have been shooting a PM extended choke since 05 and love it in my SBE I. You either hitem or missem there is no in between but they don't swim off either. I believe the thread pattern is different between the I and II, if it is not I'll take the PM Speck.

No matter what anyone says, the SBE is the best on the market for lack problems,ease of operation, and balance. I have not been able to tear mine up, even after 15 years of use.

You are correct about the different thread pattern

Yeh they are different. I also have a patternmaster and duck commander choke that will fit an SBE 1 though. I also have the M1 and my dad has an SBE 1. I'll find them and shoot u a PM.

I use the midrange choke tube by charleston that was designed for black clouds.

And my M1 has a stock modified choke stuck in it. I cannot get it out. Brought it to Custom Gun and they told me they would have to cut my barrel to get it out. So I just left it.

I wanted to try that but it's camo and I didn't wanna melt the paint. It's my backup gun and all I use it for is duck hunting. If it was a full choke stuck in there I would be more worried about it.
