Stevens 301 Turkey pattern at 20 yards

[Bustabeak]

Just got mine sighted in. Have not  had a chance to shoot at 40 yet. I'm using the factory choke and federal heavyweight TSS #9.

Looks solid!

With bead?  Or optic?

I have a vortex viper on it.

Is yours really high off the gun using the factory rail? I want the same sight on mine but I figured it would sit weird on top. I like my optics lower usually. Also do you use a protector on yours?
