Title: Super x3 and Jebs chokes?
Post by: RiverRoost on April 06, 2015, 02:28:16 PM
Anybody every tried this setup? If so what construction or shells? I don't mind the money for a Jebs but would like to hear some feedback on them as I have just heard about them.

I shoot a jebs .650 out of my vinci and with 3in #6 get over 200 in a ten inch circle all day long.  Very dense and consistent

I've got nitros right now but want to try mag blends and wlb also. Just haven't had time. Have just heard about these chokes recently and wondered if anybody tried them in sx3

I've shot the JEB's chokes through both the SX3 and several BPS models. As you probably know, Browning/Winchester recommends their Full Strut Turkey choke for their Invector+ shotguns http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/accessories/detail.asp?fid=003J&cid=113&tid=38773 The exit diameter of that choke is .640.

I was fortunate enough to spend a day at SHOT Show a few years ago with the design engineer for the Invector+ barrels, the Maxus, SX3 shotguns and other Browning/Winchester products. That choke is a good one and delivers excellent patterns but as you know it's all about the "internals" of any choke and not just about the exit diameter.

The JEB's .650, due to the way that choke is made, does an excellent job with a variety of shells, WLB and Hevi-13 included.

It's sometimes helpful to remember that with the Mossberg 835 guns with a bore of .775, most of us shoot a .670 or .675 exit diameter choke, a full .100" of constriction. The Invector+ bore is normally .742, so a choke with a .640 exit diameter has .102" of constriction and a .650 would be .092" less than what we routinely use in the 835s and 935s.

Those chokes work very well.

Thanks,
Clark

Just give a company a call most good companies will send you a few constrictions to try and you keep the 1 you like.  I have tried abunch and my take was the jebs.  I know they will work with you untill you get the numbers you want.  Shooting will be your only way to decide.  Your choke may be a .650 or may be a .665 patterns will show you what your gun likes.  Opinions we all have.

It's jusy too many posts on here about IC's out of any invector + for me to not go that route I've decided if I'm going to experiment with a different choke.
