Tristar Viper G2 410 choke & pattern

[Rottford]

I was playing around with chokes and Hal's 5/8 oz 410 duplex load ... 1/2 oz TSS 9.5s x 1/8 oz steel #4s. Cylinder choke was still alittle too tight for my liking at 40 yards. I ran across a Comp-N-Choke Negative .005 choke in Beretta Mobil threads. I think we have a winner here !!

I got my 3 woodies yesterday morning in 3 shots with the 410 duplex loads .... 25, 35, and 45+ yard shots respectively. The longest shot appeared to have only winged the duck, but by the time my dog got to it, it was graveyard dead The other two ducks were shot by my hunting buddy .....

Way to go!! Sounds like a hunter did some good shooting with that nice load!

We took a hunting trip Friday & Saturday after Thanksgiving to the Outer Banks of N.C. .... in the Currituck Sound. Friday was a bust, but after the fog lifted Saturday morning we had a good little green wing teal shoot I was shooting Hal's duplex 410 loads. My buddy was shooting the new Federal Black Cloud TSS 3 x 9 duplex loads in 12 gauge. We were 1 short of a 2 man limit

The outside decoys were at 35 yards .... you can see how far out those 410 loads can roll a teal ....the wind was calm and both ducks pretty much stayed in place while my dog Annie retrieved them ?

Rottford, Your patterns look great.

I’m searching for the best choke for my 410 Tristar Viper and plan to shoot the same 5/8 oz duplex load. Is the model number of the Comp-n-Choke you are using CBer410?

[Rottford]

Yes, but call Stuart at Comp-N-Choke before you place your order .... 888-875-7906. There are 2 different thread types on that part number. I had to return the first choke with my factory choke so he could send me back the right choke. The choke I got was Negative -.005

Thanks! I’ll give them a call this morning.

Very nice!

I grew up hunting Currituck, mostly an 800 acre section of marsh on the north end.

Had no clue that there was negative choke. I see where it would be helpfull in smallbore TSS. Almost "blunderbuss" effect.

Thanks for the info and congrats on the hunts... hell of a job.
