I dont know about the X2's but for my Super X3 it's $500 for a slug barrel. Might as well buy an 870 set up with a slug barrel for that kind of money.

I'm thinking about getting a rifled choke for my X3 to use for slug shooting.

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. Has anyone shot a slug through the field barrel yet. I have to super x2's, a 3" and a 3 1/2". I bought some buckshot the other day but was wondering if I could use slugs. How accurate can this setup be with no sights or anything? Just wanted to see if anyone has done it yet.

I use a 1187 with improved cylinder choke. I put a scope on it an I have a 3inch group at 150 yards. I shoot the cheap 2 3/4 or 3 inch Winchester slugs. Why spend 200 plus on a slug barrel for one week a year. My dad has shot the same 1100 with the bird barrel and I can't even begin to count how many deer he shot at 100 to 120 yard range. Slug barrels are nice but I can't spend that kind of money on one. I'll take my 200 bucks and sink it in to my bow or some goose decoys.

I have a Browning Gold Fusion (nearly identical to your X2) and I just put a B-SQUARE mount and scope combo on it. I shot a 2 inch group at 50 yds with 3 federal truball 2 3/4 slugs, then shot it once at 100 yds and was left of center by 3 inches. I am very pleased so far and I will put more slugs through it when I get the chance.

You can get the combo for 50-80 bucks if you look around. I think the Browning Gold 12 ga model also fits the Winchester X2.

I think it's a great option if you don't want to spend hundreds on a rifled barrel and can live with 3-4 inch groups at 100 yds.

I have X2, shooting slugs though the bird barrel it would not hold a pattern. Slugs were all over the place, and that was at 50 yds. Bought a cantilever slug barrel with 1.5-5X scope. At 60 yds I have 3 rounds touch each other 2" high. I site in at our families 8acre farm, I have not shot a deer more than 40 yds ever. 1st year with barrel baggeed a nice buck.

I've shot X2 through a smooth 28" barrel with a full choke, but its not as accurate as the regular cheap slugs with the grooves already on the bullet. The grooves on the bullet makes up for the grooves in a fully rifle barrel, when all you got is a smooth barrel shotgun.

Oh, and I wouldn't recommend shooting a slug with grooves through a fully rifle barrel. It will scratch up the grooves in the fully rifle barrel. Goodluck.

What was the results of slugs with a full choke? Did your barrel bust open on the end? from what iv'e been told, cylinder, and improved cylinder chokes for shootin slugs. What kind of grouping did you get? Just curious. Dont think i can get myself to use a full choke w/ slugs.

Well, i've always been told to use a full choke when shooting slugs. To keep the width inside of the barrel the same. I haven't had any problems and haven't heard of anyone having any problems.

Shooting with a full choke always gives me a better grouping then the mod choke.

1 to 1 and a half inch grouping at 50 yards with my 12ga remingtion 1100 (28 inch barrel).

Not to start a debate or make anyone mad but, from the end of the chamber to the end of the barrel (with no choke), the diameter should be the same. And with a full choke, the diameter should be slightly smaller (tighter), right? correct me if im wrong! And with the improved cylinder choke, the diameter should be closer to the same all the way through than a full choke. correct? Winchester told me to use the cylinder, or improved cyl. for slugs. But if it is safe to use a mod. or full choke to get better grouping, why not. Hope this makes sense:)

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
