Just bought one of these chokes for a backup gun.  Anyone ever use one?

I have shot both the "Gobble-Stopper" the 170 series and the "Gobble-Stopper Xtreme" the 170X series. Of the 2,  the "Xtreme" is the better choke tube in my experience but both are rated for Hevi-Shot.

Thanks,

The one I got was the Gobblestopper Extreme.  Cabelas had then for $17.99 and they come with the plastic snap on sights.

I am running one in my 870 20 gauge and am putting up 95 average in the 10" at 40 with H13 6's. I like it for a good hunting choke. Very good hunting patterns from the ones I have seen. Not big numbers, but good even 20" patterns.

That is a buy. The Gobble-Stopper Xtreme is pretty much a duplicate of the Mark Bansner designed turkey choke that has become a very hot item and very hard to find today.

It's a very good choke tube. You should see some good even patterns with it.

I have one for my 870 it does pretty good 190s in a 10'' circle at 40yds with Hevi13 3-2-7s
I eat therefore I hunt

My buddy picked one up for his rem 870 sm, just to shoot it because it was cheap.  I think he was in the 140 range with mag blends at 40. It wasnt a big number pattern but at 40 yards that bird was gonna be DRT.

i shot one in my old 3in 870 with the #6 win red shells and though i never patterened in a circle it use to pattern well on a live bird. i still got the choke in the gun cabnet and have since turned the gun into my rabbit/squirrel gun. my new 870sm i shoot a jellyhead
