Thanks men.  You know I would like to see what this gun would do on a 90 degree day with a good load like this one.   :lol:

I was simply amazed with this pattern and the Pure Gold.  Both were shot back to back.  This was the very first shot yesterday out of my gun.  The 2nd was with the Pure Gold.  Go check it out in the thread I posted about Pure Gold.  It's almost as good as this one.  And like I said both were shot back to back(1st and 2nd shot of the day).  I did run a brass brush down the barrel a few times about a week or so ago.  Don't know if it helped or not.  But the temp is the key for these guns and chokes to shoot from my findngs.  That's once you get a good choke and load of course.

Great patterns!!  Longing for some warmer days to pattern my 935.  I have Hevi 13 6's, 7's & Mag Blends, a star dot and a IC and have not patterned either one.

I've got similar set up...835 turkey special, polished barrel, star dot , Hevi 13 Mag Blends 3 1/2".

I just got the choke so have not had time to pattern...from this forum I was confident I had a good setup...took a real nice Kansas Eastern last afternoon with it ...11" paintbrush beard, 1"spurs, 18 1/2 lbs. Put him down like a hammer.

Well you have answered my question on the Stardot vs Pure Gold question.  It looks as if we have a winner and that is, either one of these chokes will work equally well in the 835.  Those are some excellent numbers!!!!  Only 3 pellets difference in the two chokes is amazing.  I did notice that the Stardot is a little light at the 3 and 9 o'clock position and the Pure Gold seems to be a more even pattern.  I definitely need to get a Stardot and put my Pure Gold against the Stardot, head to head.  Thanks for spending the time, money and SHARING with us.  GREAT PATTERNS!!!!!

I wouldn't sell that choke for $150.  But for $200 I would that way I could buy a Burris Fast Fire II to put on my 835.   :lol:

But really that Pure Gold .670 shoots I believe right with it.  At least with the 3.5" Hevi-13 #7 loads.
