I'm working on getting a reflex mounted on it. The base I need to mount it to the dovetail is out of stock. It will be 7-17 days before they can ship.

2nd 100

Jebs XFull outshot the full in my 28 inch gun . solid 130 to 165 numbers out of mine . dirty barrel always. 2 kills an Osceola (32 yds) and an Eastern (44 yds).
2 misses one operator error, tried to shoot thru a gap and centerpunched a sweetgum , and a recurring problem with 4 of our guns , choke came loose and blew pattern . check it every time you get out of the truck ! All kills were apex 9.5 load . Federal load is 100 to 120 with #9's.i know 3 of us have 5 kills as of today . 2 other guns are 24 inch guns with steady stock type buttstock. Will be checking out a #9 load before long .

I just ordered a Tristar Viper G2 .410 in camo. Is that gun drilled and tapped? Does Sumtoy make an optics mount for it? thanks

Yes and Yes. Do not use the sumtoy screws that come with his base. They are a different thread. The gun comes with a pictanny rail and mounting screws. Use the factory screws with sumtoy base,  if you go that route.

I'm waiting for the somtoy mount to come it's lower and shorter them the mount that comes with the gun have apex,Browning and federal also ordered some foxtrotammo.com  will let you know what pattern best.

What were the results with the browning and the foxtrot ammo? I was thinking about testing some of both. Anyone else tried the foxtrot ammo out on paper yet?

Well guys, I was finally able to shoot my gun again. I received my exchanged jebs choke and I had ordered a Hawke red dot that would fit the dovetail. Used high brass 7 1/2 to get the red dot close and it only took one of my TSS loads to get the red dot where I wanted it. It was a night and day difference from the Full to the XFull jebs. I'm getting +/- 110 in a 10in circle at 40yds with a semi-clean barrel and handloaded 9.5's. Also shot the Federal 9's and I'm getting +/- 100 in a 10in circle. All in all, I'm content with the numbers I'm seeing. Carried it yesterday on the last morning of the Florida season. Looking forward to hunting with it more next year, especially since I will be doing some out of state hunting.

WOW...Just WOW!
Man, that thing patterns GREAT!
I have one and have shot it with factory full and 3" 11/16 oz. Win. lead shells. I didn't expect much and I got what I expected.
I got a Jebs x-full that I haven't shot yet and have a Sumtoy on the way, to compare. Ordered some Federal 3" TSS 9's. When they come in, I'll shoot it and see what I have.
Waiting on Apex loads also...
Anxious and excited to try to wring this thing out!

Post up your pattern results or PM me with the Jebs and the Sumtoy I just got one these guns and am going to get one of those chokes or the comp n choke 385 (have seen some great patterns with these on Facebook).

Thanks Sixbird!

Shot the TriStar with Jebs xfull and Fed. and Apex. Also shot Sumtoy with both... Sumtoy and Apex did the best with 139 - 155 numbers at 40 yds. If i could figure out how to get pics. on here with tapatalk, I'd post the gun and patterns ????
