Title: Pawn Store find......I may have a Star Dot for my 835
Post by: KYStalker on September 13, 2012, 03:10:28 PM
I picked this up at a pawn shop today for $15 b/c I thought it was a Star Dot choke.  For those that know, did I get very lucky or am I mistaken?  This is for a Mossberg 835.

Looks exactly like my Star Dot for my 835.

Good find.  I know of a place that has a few, but none are for an 835.  Two years ago I bought one from them for an 870 for $30 and tried it, only to sell it afterward.  Last year I bought another one from them for an INV+ BPS for $30, and I ended up keeping it.  Now they want $50 each for the remaining ones they have left, and mind you they aren't for an 835.  A lot of hype surrounding the Star Dot in 835's, has spilled over and caused Star Dots for other guns to be overpriced.  In INV+ or RemChoke, it's a very decent choke for HTL.  Not so for Lead though.

Yeah I was pretty pumped.  The same store had 3 brand new Star Dots for Invector + and 1 for a benelli/beretta.
