Default Choke for M1?

I bought a benelli M1 this year for ducks and I was thinking about making it into a turkey gun as well when I don't feel like toating around the gold 10. Any suggestions as to what choke? I was thinking of the Kick's, but wasn't for sure.

One of the problems with buying a choke is that there is no absolute guarantee that will be the "best" performer in your gun until you try it. Further there is usually a difference in performance using lead vs something like Hevishot.

I have a super 90 which is very similiar to the M1. I got very good results shooting lead with TruGlo's Strut Stopper.

There are plenty of good after market chokes that will turn your gun into a tight shooting turkey slayer. Kick's, Briley, Hastings, MAD, Rhino, Seminole, Lohman, and H.S.Strut to name a few.

Good Luck.

I've tested with Trulock's Berretta/Benelli turkey choke in .665. With #5 hevi shot it's as good as it gets.

I would try an H.S. undertaker first, for performance and price(20$). I shoot one out of my 870 and my Franchi 912. If that dont cut it for your gun, there are plenty out there for 50 and 60 bucks.

Go with your first choice and get the Kick's Gobblin' Thunder tube. You won't be sorry, I promise you!

It is an awesome choke with Winchester Supreme HV #5 shot![8D]
