i recently got a new super black eagle2 steady grip,although i had shot it some with the factory chokes,i had not got to try any turkey chokes yet.got a rob roberts .655 in the mail yesterday and went and tried it out today.every different shell i shot was with in a couple inches from point of aim,with several dead on with the factory bead.even though im going to be putting a ff3 on it this still tickles me to death,after hearing some of the horrer stories with these with poa/poi i can happily say mine with the factory chokes and this new RR is pretty much perfect.it also shot some great patterns today,longbeard 3 1/2 6 shot put up 290 in a ten inch circle at 40,the 30 yard on these was awsome as well,but at twenty it was extremely tight,a hole the size of a golf ball with some shot out to about 8 inches.i never shoot a bird past 40,and rarely past 30 but i thought i would just play around and see what kind of patterns it would get at long ranges although i will never shoot a bird this far no matter what.it was impressive 15 yards on past the 40 it was still putting 176 in a ten inch circle,although alot of the shot was stickng in the wood behind the paper. long beard 3 1/2 5 shot was doing 220 at 40 in the 10. i also tried some hevi 13 3inch 6 shot and although it didnt get as high numbers (168 in 10) it had a good even pattern all around, and the 20,30 yards looked great to.also shot some fed 3 inch heavy weight7 shot,it made a good even pattern that was spread out more than the others. over all im real pleased with my new gun,i also put a limbsaver recoil pad, i never realized what a difference one of those would make,i got it on sale for 21 dollars and let me tell you it was well worth it. even though i could use the bead to hunt with,ive always wanted to try a fast fire and ill be putting one of these on it before long,im sure ill like it but if something happens that i dont,i can always switch it out with the tri- viz sights i've shot for years on my nova.(im really use them).sorry for rambling on,but i was pretty happy with my new gun today,and im always on here reading things so i thought i would just share.thanks
sounds like you gotta real shooter with the RR.655 combo. My SBEII shoots great with the RR.660
That's great. That should be an incredible turkey gun to last you a lifetime. Any pics? I love looking at turkey guns
i dont know how to do the pics,i have a few on a cheap cell phone i could send,but still hav'nt figured the posting pics thing out,but im like you,i love to look at the pictures too,i appreciate all the folks who put them on here for us to see.
Nice! My SBE 2 throws some good patterns using a Rhino .660
That limbsaver is well worth the money!!!!
