At a long stepped 40 yards the Turkey Thug 835 with 20 inch barell and Hevishot 676 choke, shooting Mag-blends gave me 142 in a 10 inch circle and 181 in the 20 inch circle. I was not impressed and decided to measure the actual shooting distance. When I taped the distance it was 150 feet. Now I am pretty satisfied with that for a 50 yard pattern. I think the pattern is pretty even as well. When my wife(the one with tech smarts) gets home I will try to post a pic. :)
might have to try that choke in my 935 whats the constriction on that
676

That sounds very good, especially at that distance. Patterns tend to really break up beyond 40 yards.
You're seeing what most of my readers and folks who've purchased that choke are seeing.
Thanks,

Good pattern.
Thanks for the kind words. I will admit that recoil on this gun is worse than any other shotgun I have ever fired.
I thought about picking up a thug does it have a scope? Post a pic of it
It came with a matching red dot
Yea buddy..that joker will rock ya! I shot a 2 7/16 oz nitro through mine st paper yesterday ...after 2 patterning sessions Wednesday and Thursday ...and ut plain hurt.
