CZ Bobwhite

[Chickenlips]

Just finishing up my 28 gauge CZ Bobwhite.  I installed a Grove Tec sling swivel kit today.  I made an rmr mount, drilled and tapped my rib, and installed a Holosun 407.  Ended up vinyl wrapping it with OG bottomland. The gun shoots good, POI is spot on.  I'm using a .515 Trulock in the left barrel and a modified Trulock in the right, both extended versions.  I'm shooting Fiochii TSS 1 1/16 ounce 9's.  178 pellets in a 10" circle at 40 yards.  My short barrel shot a nice even 16" round pattern at 30 yards.  I may try some 1 3/8 9.5 Apex in my long barrel to see if I can improve my numbers at 40 but completely happy with what I have.  I would like to thank some of the members of this site for shortening my side x side learning curve.  Especially Crow and Doc Holliday.  If I can figure it out I'll try to post pics.  Thank you

Awesome build, love the looks of a sxs, details on rib mount?

I also muskie fish and  made my own rod holders.  I have pieces of 3/16" and 1/4" aluminum flat bar left over from that.  I just cut the flat bar to fit my RMR reflex sight.  Not sure if it was right or wrong but I drilled 3 #6-48 holes into my rib for added strength. I thought about filing a groove the width of my rib down the middle of the mount but decided not to.  Seems to be good and solid.  I own a drill press, combination sander, and a set of calipers and like to piddle with what I can.  Thank you for the kind comments

I have a 28 gauge bobwhite as well. They are fun guns. I had mine drill and tapped for a Skinner peep, but may swap it out for a red dot. I also had the center rib drilled and tapped for a sling stud, although the thin rib metal makes me nervous.

I am shooting the Trulock .515 also, with the 1-3/8oz tss load that is posted on Hodgdon's load data center. I am using the factory full choke with Fiochi's 1-1/16 oz. Load of lead #7.5 shot in the right barrel for close shots. It patterns very well to 25 yards. POA/POI is good on both barrels. The handload with tss is in a 2-3/4" shell and the lead Fiochi shell is a 3", which makes it easy to get proper shells in each barrel in the dark.

I haven't killed a gobbler with it yet, but will be fall hunting soon.

It's good to hear you're enjoying your CZ.  Mine is quickly becoming my favorite.  Good luck with fall season.
