Sighted in my new gun, has a sumtoy choke (.665) with his protector mount as well. Not a bad pattern, I had my lead sled right below the waddles so I'm happy with the pattern.

That gun is SICK !!!!!
Thank man! I'm happy with it. After this season I'm gonna really trick it out. Have the trigger worked on, maybe the forcing come and have the Sumtoy mount cerekoted.

Is your trigger heavy?  Before buying mine I had heard about bad/heavy triggers on the 459's but mine is pretty light.  It has some slop/long take up, sure, but it is probably better stock than my mossberg 510 with MCARBO kit.  Maybe I was just lucky and got one from a good run.

It wasn't dipped, I went with the mossy oak graphics route. Took a couple hours but we'll see how it holds up.

The trigger wasn't heavy, just some travel in it. It's not a bad trigger at all, I just want to have it a touch lighter and less creep

I had mine on my 11-87 for 3 years and it held up very well.
