I just purchased this shotgun and a box of chokes.I like the short barrel and look of this gun.I picked it up,barely shot. I can't wait to put some lead down the pipe when I receive it.

I can't seem to load all the pictures as they are jpeg. The gun is drilled and tapped,comes with truglo turkey fiber optics,sling and a box of chokes,I am not sure which exact chokes right now.I will know later, but I already have a handful of turkey rem chokes.

I wanted one more to the collection for this year and this popped up and I bought it. I wasn't overly thrilled with tss for a 12 gauge when I tried it last year,#7's.

I want to try federal 3rd degree 5,6,7 and long beards 5 & 6 of course

Got home from work and gun was waiting for me,I received an improved cylinder and two browning chokes.The gun is in mint condition and was barely used, Its a 2008 model and looks like Its brand new.

The person I bought it from is selling off firearms that were left to him after a family death. I have lots of chokes and got gun for a great price.I have a "new" jellyhead,primos tightwad,longbeard xr ,rem super full and a rem turkey/predator wingmaster choke to test out. Going to be lots of lead to sling when it gets a little nicer outside.

I am going later and picking up 4-5 boxes of long beard 3", probably 2 5's, 2 6's and a box of 4's and when It gets nicer out I plan on patterning with the fiber optics and test the jellyhead maximum, tightwad and the rem hd turkey/predator choke, I also have a few tss #7's in 3" and Fed 3rd degree 5-6-7's to pattern, i am looking to find a box of hevi shot 3" 6's as well.

I'd like to stick with just the fiber optics but if needed I am going to mount a little reflex sight on it.

I have a primos tss jellyhead .650 constriction on the way,I'd really like to shoot 3" 7's in tss from this gun if I can get it to pattern well enough to make it worth the cost over longbeard's.

I ordered the long beards online.I will wait on the tss 7"s as I still have two left and want to pattern them before I pick up a box or 2 locally, for the cost of them now. I didnt really want to go to the local Canadian tire today and deal with them,and they were $5.00 cheaper a box online and I needed other ammo that only this place has as well.

I have done most of my shopping for ammo for this year,just "want" a few more boxes,I still want a sling for this gun,I am going to wait and pick up something different I don't already have yet.

I am heading out to take my labs for a run and I am going to stop and purchase a shurshot stock/forend if the place still has them, he always has had lots of them. This little gun has me more excited than the others for this year, I really would like to get this one shooting 3" #7 tss, if I can get it to out perform long beards.

I had to settle for the 1100/1187 realtree apg shurshot set as It was all they had. I attached the stock when I got home and I guess I have an extra forend for my 1187 if something happens, I also picked up a box of 3" tss #7, they are $13.00 plus tax cheaper than where I purchased my other ones the last few years.

I sent out an email to the place I get my guns dipped and If they still have the 3 week time frame, I am going to take this gun apart and ship it this week and have it dipped in the Mossy oak new breakup pattern.

There is still over 2 months until our season opens,lots of time to have it dipped.

The gun is apart and packed, ready to ship tomorrow after work. I just am not sure which pattern yet, leaning towards new breakup,but also may go with bottomland or original bottomland pattern.Those are the only 3, he only has a handful of mossy oak patterns to pick from and those are the only three I like.
