Franchi Affinity - 24" barrel. Federal TSS #9s at a laser measured 40 yards. Which one do you hunt? Gonna sell the other chokes. Gun is not zeroed with any of these chokes...just shot for pattern uniformity and density...I will zero the red dot with the choke I pick...
Jebs 565 if it was mine

I was kind of concerned about that tennis ball hole in the .565 pattern at 12 o'clock in the 10/20 ring. Rest of the pattern looks good to me too....
If You decide to sale the sumtoy choke let me know please

Aim small miss small..we are shooting shot guns not rifle..every shot is not gonna be hole for hole..I just like the looks of that one better.
The sumtoy would be MY next pick.
Good looking gun to!!
.575 Jebs. Then the Sumtoy second. But I'd hunt any of the three at that distance. Would be interested in seeing the 20yd patterns. A lot of times I've got chokes that look similar at 40 but the 20yd pattern is what ultimately makes my decision.

I didn't keep the 20yd pictures. Each was huntable with some wiggle room. The .575 was slightly better and .562 was a little tight.

I'd hunt the .575 then. I like it best at 40 and if the 20yd was better then that's that.

I'd try some more chokes.
I would hunt the sumtoy
Sweet looking gun and patterns as well!
What was your process of mounting your optic? I have the same gun that's already drilled and tapped but it seems like there are conflicting suggestions on mount (rail, screws, etc.)
What specific rail did you use and did it come with the correct length screws? Thanks for any help!

I think it's a weaver 48339 base. About 20$ and sits low on the gun. I can't remember if the screws were the correct length or not. The front may have been a little long but a couple swipes with a flat file and they were good to go. The red dot weaver/picatinny base that comes with the sight should fit the base without any modifications....
I like that sumtoy pattern the best

Good luck and if ya need any info, I can tell ya all I did to mine. I have some gunsmith experience, and this is novice so you should have no problems. I used a drop of blue lok tite on each screw on the base. You can get it at Lowe's if you don't have any. Easy to remove but will hold the screws in place. Don't overtighten the screws in that aluminum receiver. I have those Jebs chokes in the classified section. They shot great patterns, just picked what the group thought was best...
Id personally hunt the sumtoy. Higher 10" #'s and a good 20" coverage. That said any of those chokes will kill past 40 any day. I might opt to go with the jebs 575 if i was shooting factory bead sights, but with the red dot my vote is for sumtoy.
That .575 Jebs looks money to me! Tons of pellets for those longer shots but a little extra cushion for one hat come charging in to 10 yards. Dead is dead. And 5 pellets will kill one just the same as 50.
I went with the votes and keepin the Sumtoy. I run a red dot and hope I am experienced enough to keep my heart out of my throat to squeeze the trigger on an up close bird. I am going to try a .570 Sumtoy just to satisfy myself, but I am done after that. Both Jebs and Sumtoy make fantastic chokes and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend either. I put the Jebs on the 20 gauge choke classifieds...thanks for all the opinions. The patterns were so good, I just kept second guessing myself...
JEBS .565
