Title: Pattern gurus!!! Finally!
Post by: Trevor2 on March 10, 2012, 04:09:48 PM
After two seasons of battling with dads gun I finally got it decent. Williams sights, ssx choke, and gave him my Hevi #6 and put 257 inside a 12" circle at 40 yards. There are some wholes in it but its good enough to kill a bird and to be quite honest im tired of messing with this gun. What yall think?

He is more than happy. I believe something is wron with this gun though we had to adjust the rear sight as far left as it could go just to pull the pattern to center of the board. I gave him my hevi shot, as my gun will shoot win hv #6 like no other lol Im just glad the battle is over lol :funnyturkey:

 :z-winnersmiley:  :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: your ready to take Paw hunting. I can tell you from experience there's not much that compares to calling in your dads first turkey and watching him get all excited.

Great looking pattern. He is certainly ready to go. I called in my dad's only turkey as well. He killed it with a 2.75" 1.5 oz WW XX lead 6 at 30 yds.

Just for comparison's sake, that 12" pattern equates to 180 in a 10" circle. That's almost exactly what my 1187/SSX combo does with H13 3-2-6s (176/10). My SSX also throws great patterns but the POI is pretty far from POA as well.

Again, congrats.
Thanks I was hoping someone could come up with that.
