I own the sx4 waterfowl model I got a after market choke , the Patter Master Code Black Goose choke you wont be disappointed with the choke tight patterns and long range 👍
Buddy you can go to Tru-Lock as I have and get Invector Plus type replacement chokes. I would do as you say and I recommend a Extended Blackened stainless steel ported improved modified choke model. I have an over under 725 Feather 12 gauge using the Extended Blackened stainless steel ported chokes in improved cylinder and improved modified. Try Tru-Lock cokes my friend.
@@LakesnWoodsOutdoors the M2 is a good gun but a friend call’s Benelli the Redneck Rolex. I like the SX4 and can upgrade with a stainless steel rod and spring when mine rusts out.
Tru-Lock chokes make custom chokes for all makes and models. Contact them to get a choke for your needs. I use improved cylinder and improved modified blacken stainless ported extended chokes in my Browning 725 Feather over and under 12 gauge.
Also drill a small drainage hole in the underside of the butt stock near the recoil pad so that water that gets in the stock can drain out and keep the steel rod in the butt stock from rusting.
@@LakesnWoodsOutdoors it does happen when waterfowl hunting over time when it is wet and raining. They make stainless steel rods and springs as aftermarket to fight the rusting in the butt stock issue.
Definitely could be! Price point is likely a bit lower too, would be a great option for those who don't want to spend close to $2000 CAD! I know the reliability would be good!
@@LakesnWoodsOutdoors I never understood the hype for the 1301 or a300 tbh. 1301 is full of plastic and feels flimsy as hell. 1301 used to be sub $1500 CAD which is a decent deal, now it’s $2000+ and a300 is like $1600. With that price tag you might as well get a benelli m4 which is built like a tank. Berettas QC has gone down quite a bit and I’ve seen to many problems/parts breaking with 1301 and a300. Just my 2 cents haha
@@LakesnWoodsOutdoors oh btw I think the sx4 is very similar to the discontinued FN SLP (now that Winchester and browning both belong to FN). FN SLP was considered almost as prestigious and well made as benelli m4, sad that it was discontinued. Hopefully tactical SX4s deliver

@@aarontitusz8655 I have definitely seen QC issues for most manufacturers and that does include Winchester, but I agree with you about the 1301, I personally like the fit of the A300 better and find it can be a bit more reliable.
I'm looking for a duck gun. My stoeger m3000 is very unreliable ftf issues and just bad pattern. Should I just buy a side by side 12ga? How's the A300 beretta compared to the sx4?
I think both the SX4 & A300 are upgrades, I am shocked you're having issues with the M3000 because I know quite a few guys with Stoeger M3 series and they're all phenomenal guns! Between the SX4 and A300 I think it'll really come down to which fits better, which ever points better you'll likely shoot better and be more successful, both are gas guns so they'll be a lot more reliable for cycling all loads but they will require more cleaning and maintenance in comparison to an inertia! The A300 will likely have better recoil reductions as well due to the Kick-Off system!
Do you have issue with the bolt charging handle and lost it at the field while shooting and hunting? Hunter always got this problem may very. But, I love mine SX4, no problem until now. Cycling well and fast...
Yeah, I lost my charging handle and had to get it replaced, lost it while duck hunting so I had to use a screwdriver to open my gun until I could get a new handle shipped in
@@LakesnWoodsOutdoors is your gun is the first batch? I mean, year production in 2017. Actually, the first batch got the issue of pop up charging bolt handle while shooting and lost at the field.
@@LakesnWoodsOutdoors do you always clean your gun after shooting or hunting? Make sure you install the charging handle with snap it tight in the bolt during resemble. If it also pop up than, maybe you should sent it to Winchester store for them to fix it...
@@materazipelates I got a new charging handle no issues so far, they always clicked in but I believe it was an issue with this initial charging handles which they fixed with the new ones, I usually clean my gun every 3-4 hunts depending on weather and how many shots
I've never fired buckshot before but as far as I know you can shoot it through any choke, it's just not fully recommended through a full choke. Modified or Improved Modified chokes are good for buckshot.
@@LakesnWoodsOutdoors I'm also never fired buckshot through MOD choke... But, I've tried shot buckshot with the improve cylinder. The pattern pretty good. I just want to know, if long range the pattern also pretty good if choose the MOD choke?
@@materazipelates Modified is going to let you shoot further, the pattern will be tighter and same with the Improved Modified. It'll help you be able to shoot further than with an Improved Cylinder.
@@juan_ctzz Gotcha! That's what I assumed, this camo pattern was the Max-5 I believe, might've been Max-4 I don't remember exactly, current SX4 models are going to have the MAX-7 camo which looks really good, they also make it in a MOSGH camo which I currently have on my Benelli M2 and like it a lot!
I actually sold this gun and upgraded to a Benelli M2, M2 fits me way better and I like it a lot, I will be doing a vid on it in the future and am planning on gets a Carlsons choke!

Awesome! Thanks for the info my man!
For steel shot? I can't use lead for waterfowl. Any recommendations?
You can buy Carlson Browning Investor Plus Extended Chocks for Duck hunting
Great chokes, ended up buying a Benelli M2 and I run the Carlson’s Long Range Steel, patterns so nicely!

I've found great success with Carlson's and Kick's, never heard of Tru-Lock, I actually sold the SX4 last year cause I upgraded to a Benelli M2!

What type and brand choke should I use for waterfowl. I can't use leadshot only steel.
Also drill a small drainage hole in the underside of the butt stock near the recoil pad so that water that gets in the stock can drain out and keep the steel rod in the butt stock from rusting.
I've never had an issue with water in the stock, is it something that's common with SX4s?
@@LakesnWoodsOutdoors it does happen when waterfowl hunting over time when it is wet and raining. They make stainless steel rods and springs as aftermarket to fight the rusting in the butt stock issue.
Winchester came out with the tactical sx4 this year for the shot show special. Could be a great alternative to the beretta 1301 or a300
