Mossberg 835 Star dot or Indian Creek?
June 22, 2015, 01:51:24 AM
For my 835 I am trying to decide between a Star Dot or an Indian Creek Black Diamond Strike.
Which do you think would be a better choice and why?
I found the Star Dot at a sporting goods store about 100 miles from where I live and they will ship it to me. There is not much difference in price about $10.00.
Thanks

The choke that did best with the 835, had the highest numbers and without any 2" or larger gaps in my evaluations with both Winchester Long Beard (WLB) shells and Hevi-13 shells was the Hevi-13 turkey choke.

(
Results of 2 other chokes were accidentally left off that chart. The Mossberg X-Factor had 147 with no gaps and the SSX had 186 with no gaps.

Thanks,

I do not have a Hevi 13 choke for my 835 so I can not comment on Clarks suggestion but I do know that public PH choke out shoots my IC and my stardot.
