Pretty good prices on a semi auto shotgun. Anybody heard any reviews on them.

Been reading some reviews on this auto. All are very positive. Gonna do some wheeling and dealing and see if I cant pick one up. Supposedly they are threaded like a mossberg 500, so chokes should be easy to get.

Ill let yall know how it does when I get it. Looks like it would make a nice little turkey gun.

I know this post was back in May, but I purchased the youth model for my son and daughter. Got me a few boxes of hevi-blend and patterned it. Needless to say, I took the gun out and killed me a Florida longbeard after the amazing results I got with it.

Whats the constriction on your IC choke? I think I have an undertaker choke in mine.

Great gun. Bought it for my 12 y.o. last year. I am having trouble finding a turkey choke that will fit. I bought an undertaker for Weatherby last year and it won't thread in. Any suggestions???

William at Sum Toy Customs can hook you up. He has two 20 ga chokes that are awesome. He has a choke just for the federal #7s and then a choke for TSS and hevi 13.

He would probably need your barrel with the choke in it. But he could get you set up. Once he gets it in his CNC machine, he would have it locked in.

Any 20 ga Mossberg Accuchoke will fit the Weatherby SA-08 20 ga youth model. They have the same thread pattern as the mossberg.

Is that the mueller on that gun?

Do you have any pictures of the patterns it is putting up?

Nope...just a BSA red dot scope.

I'll have to see if I have any other pics of my pattern it's shooting with an undertaker and hevi-blend combo.

Note I will be giving it some use this spring. It's super light and killer to 45+ yards. I wouldn't shoot it past that

Thanks sav duck. I'm getting my daughter out for the first time this year. She's completely tore up and ready to jelly up a turkeys head.

I'll have to wait on my little one for a few more years :)
