Well here she is. My latest addition to the 20 gauge family. The jury is still out. The fit and finish are great. The trigger is horrible. I was surprised to find out that this gun in manufactured in Istanbul Turkey.  It shoots an amazing pattern. 345 in a 10" circle using Federal TSS #9 and a Carlson .568 choke.

Mine has killed 3 birds, one youth too!  The trigger is fantastic so I think it's a hit and miss - and the trigger can be worked!!

The gun patterns great,the gun is a nice feeling gun.Winchester has massive quality control issues on their new "beater" shotguns,the sxp is a pos compared to the old 1300.I have two sxp now,a 12 and the new 20 and two 1300 that are over 20+ years old.The triggers being released on some of new guns are an embarrassment to a once great name.No excuses to get a pos trigger from the factory like I did.

Is the Carlson choke you got that pattern with the tss choke or Long beard choke?
