Indian Creek .525 with my Mossberg Sa-28 tactical and Apex 9.5s patterned tighter at 40. 259 in 10 inch and 275 in 20 inch.

I have a tactical and shot the .520 carlsons with apex 9.5s. It shot pretty good at 40 but feel it can be better. I got 170 in the 10 inch circle and 310 in the 20 inch circle. Im trying a IC .525 later this week.

Congratulations and the kill and gun. How was the Pirate Classic this year?

I ordered a .525 i reckon i need some cherry bombs now

Went out this morning in NE NC and not a gobble. Did see two long beards where I can hunt so that was a good sign. First strutter of the year for me and I normally see them in late February in my part of the world.

Interested to see how your sa28's shoot. I bought one last season for my son to use as a all purpose gun. It wouldn't cycle field loads at all. Tried several different brands of ammo and also completely cleaned and lubed the gun. Sent it back to mossberg 2 times for repairs and still no dice. Reall...

Should I get an .520 or .525. I got Apex 9.5s coming. Was looking at some Verdict or Rogue. Any other suggestions?

Mine was Just under $750 shipped to my local FFL from Bud’d Guns.

Did you order the IC 525 from IC? I did not see any 28 gauge choke tubes on their website.

This is mine. I love it and even took it quail hunting recently.

Does anyone know where i can find one of these right now?

Stoeger M3020 has been a good one for me.

Stoeger M3020. I bought one last year and super impressed. May be able to get a black synthetic for around $550. I think I paid $650 for bottomland with 26" barrell.

We run the heck out of em in NE NC this time of year and the yote population has taken a hit in last 5 years. We turn out 10-100 dogs on em. Depends on how many guys are hunting that day. The guys don't even carry a gun any more.

My Factory choke in my Stoeger M3020 was really good. I shot Federal TSS out of mine.
