Shot mine with the IC .520 with the Rogue 9.5s and my hand load 9.5s. She is definitely coming to the woods opening day.

Where did you find that charging handle ? I got the Sa20 coming next week and would like to see if I can get one for it. Thanks in advance

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

I was shocked!!!! Mainly because I am shooting the factory full choke!!!! I am stoked!!! I sent the pictures to Brice immediately!!!!
Have a good one and May God bless, Bo
AWESOME!

I have a 28 gauge for my 9 year old. It’s a Colonial true choke thread, so all I can get is Full choke. 🤞 I get a decent pattern with it.

I don't think you can go wrong with either one of those chokes with any 9.5's in the SA-28. That being said, If your chances of shooting 30-50yds would go with the .520. If never a chance of over 30 yards go with the .525. I think either one will kill just depends on how much room for error/wiggle room you want.

I’m a firm believer that 1.5oz outshoots the 1-5/8
This is after I cleaned the barrel

So there are no other choke options ?
I thought Trulock could make one and Colonial as well?

I think my only option is Will at Sumtoy for 1 of 1 custom choke.

I have emailed Trulock again, but I recall they only had True size chokes on 12/20 not 28.

AWESOME!

I have a Carlson .520 for the SA28, found it new on Ebay before I got the IC .520

It shot good patterns also, I just think the IC .520 is more consistent in my gun.

I am getting 385 in a 10 inch circle at 40 yards. Wife got 413 in a 10 inch circle with her Bantam 28, it shoots better than the turkey model which shoots great...crazy

Both guns are shooting Jebs 520 chokes and Rogue ammo straight 9.5's.
