Title: Anyone shoot an 835 with a Rhino Choke?
Post by: matchbook454 on March 29, 2015, 02:26:37 PM
I've heard good things about Rhino chokes for years and have a buddy who has one in his SBE but haven't heard any reviews from guys with 835's.  Just wondering how well they perform in this gun numbers wise (10" @ 40 yds)?

I don't have an 835 but I shoot a rhino 660 in my 535. I get 140-155 with 3" long beard 4 's and and 150-165 with the 3" 5's

I shoot lead in my 835 and my Rhino .690 threw decent patterns, but not nearly as tight as my Star dot and Indian Creek.  From what I read the Rhino's do well with HTL loads, but I shoot lead so it didn't work out for me.  I ended up trading the Rhino.

I shot Nitro 4x5x7s thru a .690 Rhino in my 835 for a bit.  I didn't count holes, but the pattern definitely had a hot core.  That's good if you're going for 10" numbers.  HOWEVER, I felt more confident shooting a more evenly spaced 20" pattern that I found using a Jellyhead .690, instead.

So you DO have a star dot for your 835?????
