Beretta extrema back from Rob Roberts

[owlhoot]

It depends on what you asked for out of this work?

Did you want to shoot 3 1/2"?
Did you want to shoot magblend?
That is a nice even pattern for hunting, but is it what you asked for, or even close?
From what i read around here he does good work and has sent multiple chokes out to guys until it is what they want, heck just ask him .
If your good , forget the rest and give them turks  the dirt nap.

Looks like a very dead bird to me.

180 with a 3.5 magblend is pretty low but that may be what you where looking for. Also depends on the lot number as some will have more 7s then others and yours may be lower in them.

I too sent my gun to Rob (sbe2) and had all the work done. Have a 655 choke on the way from him to test but I will send it back if it's not in the 200-220 range minimum with a 3.5. Having said that, that's just my preference. The pattern you have is a good hunting pattern though.

If I can't get the numbers I want from Robs choke I will call William at SumToy to get me one in the mail. I know his can as that's what I used in my other benelli guns.

Robs crew are good guys and if in fact you are not happy I have no doubt he would work with you till you are.

I have an 870 that Rob did back in the early 90s,,,when he was with Bal specialties...It was set up to shoot 6s and still is one of the tightest shooting guns I have owned,

3 years ago I had him do my sons graduation present..An M2, and my M1.. did trigger, which is zero  creep and close to a rifle.

Built chokes for both,,,other then he was way behind getting them done I am happy with his work.

robs a great guy and has built guns for me also.   I had an extrema done with his .650 and it was good but realized I was over choked for that bore.   I had sumtoy send me a .660, .665, and a .675 to try.   the .665 was amazing couldn't believe the difference.   give William a call

What is the turn around time for his work?

[EZ]

Just curious how it patterned before you had work done. For the record, I'm not one for super high numbers in the 10"

[BINK McCARTY]

That's exactly what a hunting gun should do. great pattern! RR could have gotten more in the 10 if that was his thing but unless directed otherwise he purpose is the best turkey killing gun he can produce. That even 20" is a better killing factor in the woods than most will ever admit.

What he says!!!! They are about a good EVEN hunting pattern,not a super dooper hot core.
Most important factor is are YOU happy with it?

[BINK McCARTY]

Looks exactly what Rob does....very even shot pattern.

I'm shooting a 3" outlander with #8 apex and a cheap Tru-Glo gobble Stopper choke and putting 215 in a 10" circle at 40. I would definitely keep experimenting but regardless that's a dead turkey every day!

It could be a lot better. I'd be disappointed for the amount you spent

[Old Timer]

I`d be happy! Enjoy your firearm
