Default RE: Rhino VS Comp-N-Choke

If there is anything better than the Rhino I have yet to see it. In selling this stuff for 20 years I have NEVER seen a choke tube as effective as the Rhino (and yes I am talking about while being used with Nitro loads). I have been using Nitro's for 3 years and the year before last we actually went too Mtn. Grove, MO (it is only 30 minutes from my families place in Mtn. View, MO and we were up their turkey hunting and had just become new dealers for Nitro/Rhino). "Nitro Ray" is a character and has more experience with his loads and the Rhino tubes than anyone else. Just call him and he will tell you what load and tube to get for a particular gun.

Initially I was using his 2 1/4oz 4,5 & 7.5 triplex load in my 870 Supermag with a .665 TruGlo (the old 3 band model not the newer, cheaper ones). I killed two birds that year in MO one at 50yds in the woods and one at 64yds across a pasture (both ranged by my Leica rangefinder). Another of our salesmen killed two birds over 70yds (again laser verified) with his Nitro/TruGlo in a Browning Gold 3.5". I thought I was happy until talking too Ray in his shop. He found out I had an old 835Ulti-Mag rusting quietly in the corner and started in on me. "Man you GOTTA dig that ol Mossberg out, those old guns with their 10ga backbore can carry a load like no other 12s". He showed me a special load he builds for the 835/935s and told me what Rhino to get (I believe it is a .680 but I will need to check that next time I am in my gunsafe, for some reason .695 also comes too mind). You can overchoke Hevi-Shot,especially that from Remington but you can likewise do the same with Nitro.

Lastyear I did as he commanded and the ol Mossberg put 22 pellets into a 12oz Coors Light can at 60 lasered yards. Naturally both the birds I killed in MO with it were under 30 yds, but when in cattle pastures and large, mature, open hardwoodshaving that extra range sure is nice.

Check em out,
RA
