Uchee creek gobblers

February 02, 2014, 05:13:06 PM
I shoot a sx3 nwtf with a rob Roberts 655 choke and I was really disappointed in my patterns. Only got around 100 with mag blends and 180s with long beard 6s. I was expecting a lot more then that. I believe my patterns were better with my Winchester turkey choke.

Your way overchoked for a sx3. Try a .670-.675 choke.  Mine loves the Pure Gold .670.  Indian creek also has a great choke for that gun too in .675.  Try that, you will be very happy.

Call William at SumToy Customs....He will fix you up & offers a GREAT exchange/return policy (which you probably won't need) !!!  http://www.sumtoycustoms.com/

Doesn't Rob Roberts have that also, since he has already got 70 bucks in his?

I don't know anything about Mr. Roberts.  If he does offer an exchange service then that might be the best way to go.  On a personal level, I have shot a boat load of different chokes through the years and I have found a home at SumToy...couldn't be happier with my patterns and the service William gives.  I recommend SumToy because I know William will always do everything he can to make his customer happy and get them the results they are looking for.  :icon_thumright:

His chokes diffidently put up the good patterns. My next choice will be a sumtoy. USA made too.

 One of the guys at robs shop told me to shoot the 655. He told me they would exchange it till i got what i want.The choke that came in the gun was a 660 and patterned real good I may go back to it.

Indian Creek BDS .665 for my SX3. Get well over 200 with Hevi 7's. Think your a little over choked.

I assume you got it from Rob. Before you look into any other choke manufacturers tell Rob your not happy and see if he will work it out with you.
If that does not work then call some of the other guys. I'm a big fan of Indian Creek, throws some mean patterns from my 870.
