I have one, no kills yet. Shooting comp n choke 385 and apex 9.5s. Dont have 40 yd numbers yet, but at 30 it does pretty good.

Its extremly light. It would be great for a youth or inexperienced hunter.

Apex with Jebs choke seems like a good combo.  Mine is trowing around 150 @ 40 yards..

That’s definitely a good 40 yard pattern

How well does this Tristar cycle the 410 shells and what choke are you using and the constriction of the choke.  You have me thinking about one.

I have the same gun just the NWTF edition. Mine cycled all the loads that I've ran through it so far. For those of you that have the Tristar and have a Red dot mounted. What sights and mounts are ya'll using? I can't seem to find a mount for a FF3 that i have, that will attach to the dovetail and don't see where Vortex makes one for the Venom.

FL-BOSS, are you shooting the Full or XFULL Jebs? I ordered one the other day and Jebs recommended the FULL since I'm shooting handloads and Apex.

The issue I'm running into, is mine is not drilled and tapped. Mine only has the dovetail.

My viper is the special turkey model that is drilled / tapped. I mount the FF3 on pic rail.

As for choke...Jebs sent me the X Full ( I told them I was shooting Apex)  I believe he said it was .381
Anyway...it shoots great.. I'm happy
