Getting ready, I think to buy a Longbeard in 12gauge. Any complaints?

I like mine, patterns well...trigger needs to be lightened, pulls hard. Shooting Win. LB #5s, Carlsons .665 shoots the best, tried IC and Briley and stock chokes...

Bought the SXP NWTF model with the 24" barrel and took it out this weekend. I am using the Carlson's lb Xr choke at 0.665.  I was shooting the 3.5" lb #4 and it patterned ok but not great. I will try the #5's next time.

The good: the mossy oak pattern is awesome. Looks like real leaves and twigs on it.

The bad: trigger is really heavy
