Anybody here have one? What choke/shell combo works well. I am shooting magblends now and would be ok with using them or anything else that would be good. It has a 24" barrel cabelas says it will be here in 2 weeks so I would like to get choke and shells on hand to get it ready to hunt with.
I have the 26" model in Realtree APG. I have a Rhino .670 choke and use the 3.5" Magnum blends. I also have a TruGlo gobble stopper red dot on it. I will say to be prepared for a stiff trigger. I'll probably have that worked on even though it's more noticeable when patterning than shooting a bird. Also, the recoil pad is hard. I contacted Limbsaver and they don't have one for it. The closest thing to fit it is the one for the M2000/ P350. I used a dremmel tool and ground the inner lip of the Limbsaver pad down until it snapped into place, and it fits almost perfectly. You wouldn't know it wasn't made for the gun. Oh yeah, one more thing. Forget about using the factory turkey choke. I shot mine and it bulged in the middle of the tube and was hard to get out. I read where others had the same problem afterwards.

.660 rhino
650 and you will be ready :anim_25:
I bought this gun at the end of last duck season. You'll love it! For turkeys, I have a Primos JellyHead and I shoot the new Winchester LongBeards. I got 200 hits in a 10 inch circle at 40 yards. I was shooting 3 inch #5's. Be sure and install the recoil reducer it comes with. It helps out a little. Also, the trigger pull, as stated earlier, it quite stiff. But it's a great gun!
If by some god given miracle you see this ...i know its been forever, Please respond. I just have a couple question as to how you got that pad to fit on there. For the life of me i cannot get mine to lineup correctly on my stock, its angled of leveled and its terrible shouldering.
