Is it safe to shoot slugs out of a benelli shotgun with a screw in modified choke tube?

Yes, it is, but make sure you shoot foster style slugs. They are easier to force (swage) through the choke, and are designed for smoothbore shotguns. I like the Remington managed recoil slugs. A 1 oz. slug coming out at around 1250 fps is nothing to sneeze at, and they're very comfortable to shoot. If bears are your concern, however, I might go with something with a higher velocity.

∙ 15y agoNever shoot without a choke tube installed. NEVER SHOOT A SLUG THROUGH ANYTHING TIGHTER THAN AN IMPROVED CYLINDER SCREW IN CHOKE. (Modified is tighter). Slugs shot through a tighter tube can either crack it or blow it out the barrel.

∙ 14y agoIt is safe if it is a modern gun, but it will cost you accuracy and velocity, and if you make a habit of it, you will soon have a poorly-patterned modified barrel. Improved cylinder barrels do best with slugs.

∙ 10y agoYes, down to Full (although Modified is usually more accurate) Do not attempt to fire a slug through an Extra Full Choke (used by turkey hunters a lot)

Do shotguns need chokes?
It is possible to fire a shotgun without a choke, but it is highly not reccomended, and they don't cost that much If you select a barrel with no choke (cylinder) it will cause the pattern to be looser than for a barrel of a shotgun that has a tighter choke. The extreme is "full choke" which keeps a tight pattern out to the effective range. Full choke is typically used for waterfowl. A shotgun that is pressed into double duty (shot for small game and slugs for big game) would work well to have modified choke. Slugs have to be designed to fire through a full choke without blowing the barrel but you will certainly shorten the life of the barrel by firing slugs through a choked barrel. If you can afford an extra barrel, then use a cylinder (no choke) for slugs. Remington and other shotgun manufacturers have interchangeable choke tubes (see link) that allow you to screw in the appropriate choke for your quarry.
What is a winchoke on a shotgun?
A Winchoke is a screw in choking device that screws into the end of a Winchester Shotgun. Commonly called a screw in choke, most manufacturers have a different name for their chokes that they made specifically for their products. Screw in chokes eliminate the need for extra barrels with different chokes built in. The screw in choke allows the shooter to change from open chokes to a full choke depending on how wide they want the shot pattern to spread. Winchester makes the Winchoke, Remington makes the Remchoke, Browning makes the Invector choke and so on.

What is a shotgun choke?
A choke looks like a small tube that you screw in the mussel of some shotguns. It changes the pattern of BBS as they fly exc. a full choke will force the BBS into a smaller pattern than an improved cylinder. Hope this helps
Can the barrels of the Stevens 311 be modified to install choke tubes?
Well, I can only speak for mine. My barells were cut to 18 1/4" and Colonial screw in choke tubes installed. Works like a charm.

What is a Rem choke?
The Rem Choke was first marketed on the Remington 11-87 simi-automatic shotgun. This firearm was introduced in 1987, thus 11-87. The Rem choke is a metal threaded tube about 2 inches long threaded on the outside. The muzzle of the barrel is threaded on the inside. The original Remington 1100 simi-auto had a built in choke and when you purchased it you could only get one choke, full, modified, improved were the most common. With the 11-87, you buy only one gun with one barrel and with a Rem Choke of your choice. If your 11-87 came with a ' Full' Rem Choke for ducks and geese and you want to shoot quail, all you need is to purchase a Rem Choke in Improved Cylinder. Screw out one, screw in another. Neat,huh!
What is a skeet chokes?
A skeet choke is a screw in tube that is inserted in the end of a barrel of a shotgun, the main thing a skeet choke does is changes the spread pattern of the shot from the shell, since its a skeet choke it will make the spread very large so that you can hit the skeet easier.
