The patterns look nice! I asked a question on your other posting about the POA / POI and choke - shell combo. It looks as if the Jeb's choke is shooting right (as you pointed out). Have you asked to send it back for a replacement? I have found a choke can cause the POA / POI to be off. I have gotten a replacement (same choke constriction and maker) and my problem was solved. It never hurts to try.

Good luck

what gun is this? Mike

This is a Beretta A400. Forcercon1 I have a 660 coming from Jebs and just ordered a IC 670. If those don't pattern to the right you are on to something. I bought an xtrema  2 and really got frustrated with it shooting low and left. Put sights on it but never got over it being that bad and that expensive. Sold it to a duck hunter cheap. It did shoot federal steel better but still low and left. Rick

The A400 has put up some very good patterns.  It did hold the record on our range until a 887 bumped it off.   Now they do have a poa/poi problem.

I was thinking about buying an Extrema 2 from a guy and I shot it and it was way low and left. I looked at the barrel where it meets the receiver and it wouldn't line up straight.  Gave it back to him and went on my way. Close friend of mine just got the A400 and it doesn't shoot poa.  There's no way I'm spending that kind of money on something that I have to add something to or modify to get it to shoot correctly...  I could understand on a $500 gun but not on a $1600+

I changed the shims in the back of the A400 and POA and POI are the same now.  Seeing much less of the barrel which is the way it should be.  Little bit of a process with the Kick off.  Youtube has good videos on how to change these!!

Shooting the Jeb's Choke and looking into a Sumtoy.

Thanks BennieGobler on the shims. I have done that with a Xtrema 2 I owned. Taylorjones20 have him get with bobby at JEBS chokes. They will bend a barrel if I would have known that I would have never got rid of Xtrema 2. Lord knows I took a loss on that gun and really liked how it shoulder. If my a400 don't straighten up with shims or chokes I will send mine there.

From your photos, the "Hevi Choke" seemed to have shot a good POA / POI, the "Jebs" shot the same right and slightly high.

You might considering a replacement Jebs choke, Sumtoy, Patternmaster, Etc... prior to bending the barrel. Does your standard loads / chokes shoot POA / POI. Keep in mind, it seems, Beretta's & Benelli's, shoot a little high POA / POI. This allows for the target to float over a (6 O'clock POA).

Really good even pattern!!!!

[rickyb]

Got to pattern the IC 670 and really like how the Winchester LB #6 pattern

[rickyb]

Not really impressed with this choke and magblends. You can see the WLB are clear winner. I have adjusted shins in gun and will try that Friday in Hevi magblends. Thanks for the replies Rick

[BennieGobbler]

Get out there and kill a bird with the LB #6's!!  Good Job Ricky!!
