Benelli Tactical and/or Rifled Barrel Advice...
First, thanks for taking your time to read this post. I appreciate it.
I want to put a short, non-rifled, iron-sighted barrel on a Benelli SBE II, or Super Nova.
What I really want is the "tactical" 18.5" iron-sighted barrel they make for multiple models.
The problem is that from what I can tell, all such barrels are made with a fixed cylinder choke.
Approaching it from the other end, all of the "deer slayer" style barrels offered are rifled.
What I want is a SBE II barrel in the tactical style with rifle sights ( not ghost rings), 18.5 inches long, but with interchangeable chokes. I actually don't care if it is the original style SBE, in fact, I would prefer it.
WHY would I want such a rig? I use a similar set up in Remington 1187 and 870 model shotguns with super tight chokes and super short non-rifled sighted barrels and it produces absolutely wicked patterns with the correct turkey load. I would like to try it with my Benellis, but can't seem to find the exact setup I need.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks!

Have you talked to your local gunsmith. They should be able to put on any sights you want. Maybe they even have the tooling to install internal chokes. Or you could just send off the bbl and have it fixed and returned.
