I just bought a 12 gauge M2, the deal was just too good to pass up. So I’ll be setting up a gun in the next few weeks. What chokes are y’all tss shooters using in yours?

I use a Rhino .660 in my M2 with an 18" barrel, but I'm just using Hevi 13s as I bought a pile when they were on clearance. I load TSS but haven't had a need for it in this gun. It does all I need it to with an even pattern just using Hevi 13 #7s and does just as well with #6s. 222 in 10" and 228 in 20" The Jelllyhead choke did well in it also. God Bless, David B.

I love my m2 I had been shooting a rhino .660 and nitro 4-5-7 for long time. I switched to tss 7.5x9 and a Indian creek .665. Still think it’s to constricted. I bet a .670 would be a great pattern

I bet a .670 would be a great pattern We've shot a lot of tss through a lot of guns playing with different constrictions and we've definitely seen the best results with .675 to .685 overall. A good even killing pattern. 20ga has been the same. .575

I shoot the factory full out of mine. ^This is what I'd try first. My 20 gauge M2 shoots the #7 Federal Heavyweight just about as well through factory full as through Trulock choke made specifically for that load. I can't imagine a 12 gauge wouldn't do at least that well with full. I'd at least try that first anyway!

Dang this thing is a smooth shooter. I let the wife and son put the first 2 loads down the pipe through the full choke and they like it over my gold, SBE, and franchi for recoil. Appears the bead shoots true as well with dove loads. Can’t wait to put some tss through it.

I just bought a jebs .660 for mine to shoot the apex small town blend through. I will be happy to post the results when the shells come in, It was a little open for me with the Federal straight 9’s.

I would either get a sumtoy 665 or a rhino 660. Its gone have a hot core with either but will kill them a lot further than anyone should ever shoot a Turkey. Never shot a sumtoy but I own a gen1 rhino that was built for the Nitro blend and it doesn’t compare to the Jebs and Apex combo!

Good luck with the setup I have a feeling you’re gonna love that gun.

I had a jebs before that wouldn't pattern as good as a comp n choke. I've got a buddy running a rhino in his sbe 2 and the patterns he is getting is incredible.

Got a Trulock .650 in my Benelli m2. Has a 21” barrel, and gets around 300 in a 10inch circle at 40 yards with 8-1/2 TSS
