Anybody shot one yet? I picked one up today and have not shot it yet but am quite impressed just based on first impression. Incredibly light gun with a great trigger pull. Can't wait to get it cleaned and patterned in the next couple weeks. If I can turn it in to a 40 yard gun it will definitely see a lot of action this year

I have not but I'm going to pick one up for my daughter soon. Please post any results you have I'd like to follow along. Are you going use any optics?

Will do. I'll probably just be using an inexpensive red dot this year depending on how well the gun shoots. Might throw a ff3 on it

I've got one. Barrel is off to get shortened to 20" and rethreaded. Nice little gun. Barrel was filthy and rough. Spent a fair bit of time polishing it. I put an old ff3 on it and will see how it does when I get it back.

Got to shoot mine today. Spent a lot of time getting the barrel clean but then put 4 shots through it to get it sighted in. Only snaked the barrel after the field loads. Put 115 in the 10 with apex 9s at 40 yards. 47 degrees and fairly windy today. I will deep clean the barrel tomorrow and shoot it with the apex ninjas

Hoping after a deep cleaning and with the apex ninja load I will be able to hit 150 in the 10

Was this with the factory turkey choke?

Are these factory threaded? I remember looking at one a couple years back, but can't remember if they were threaded or not.

The turkey model is threaded and drilled and tapped with a 26 inch barrel

The shorter Tuffy, 18.5" barrel is not threaded for screw in chokes. As stated, the Turkey Tuffy is.

Anyone settle in on a good choke besides the factory one?  Just picked one up.  Now it's the search for shells.  ????

I have only tested the factory xtra full choke. These are my patterns at 25 and 40 yards with Federal TSS #9. I'll be interested to see if anyone has used any other combos as well.


25 yards


40 yards

Picked one up for my youngest a few weeks back and put a cheap Tasco red dot on it and shooting Browning TSS thru it.  After a good cleaning, I was impressed with that load thru the factory x full it comes with.  Shot a good 40 yard pattern but I don't plan to let him shoot past 30 right now.
