Who has shot or at least seen this in person? I am contemplating buying a new Turkey gun. it seems like it has everything I would want in a new Turkey gun: relatively cheap, camo dipped, back-bored tech, pistol grip, fixed sights but also tapped for scope mount or rail which I will likely put a red dot on (I love my Burris Fast Fire III)...etc. My current gun shoots just fine (Berretta Pintail) but I am thinking of getting something new strictly for Turkey for two reasons, 1.) I simply want something new and 2.) I am leaning towards a 3.5in shotgun (Beretta is a 3in). I know many will say you don't need 3.5in and the recoil HURTS yada yada yada but I say if you can handle the recoil then why not? For me, recoil is only a problem at the range and in those cases (sighting it in and patterning) I simply where an extra recoil pad. So thoughts? My other option was Mossberg 935 but it is a few hundred dollars more and simply gains you semi auto which yes helps with recoil but is it really worth it? Again, in the field I never feel recoil due to adrenaline of the hunt. I hunt deer with magnum rifles and never have a problem.
Mehh it's just another pump gun, if they would have made it an auto then maybe....

I've got the auto and it's awesome. By far my favorite gun of all the shotguns I own. The pistol grip fits perfect in your hand and it shoulders and steadies really well. Well worth the money IMO.

You gotta understand, ole phillipe is the site cynic. He's like mikey from the cereal commercial. He doesn't like anything. :TooFunny:

I have last years model, so no pistol grip or anything, but I added a carlsons longbeard .665, TRS-25, and butler creek sling. It's a killer for sure with longbeard xr #5 and #6

Decisions decisions. I might just get it depending if I can find one.
IMO you won't regret it at all.

. It is made in Belgium(which is a very respected place for firearm manufacture) it does have some additional assembly done in Portugal. It is basically the same gun as a FN and they are proven to be great guns.
Let me first say I don't own an SXP nor have I ever held or shot one. I thought they looked good on the web and was considering buying one but remembered a few posts on here that they shot pretty far off point of aim.
Certainly could be fixed with adjustable sights or an optic if a dedicated turkey gun ( if in fact did not shoot POA).

It's the SXP that's made in Turkey. FYI.
The turkey model comes with adjustable sights that are pretty good. I mounted a rail and red dot though

I wish they didn't have that cantilever on the auto's, I'd like the XP better for that reason alone. Pump or Auto isn't a deal breaker for me, the first shot you take is the best one you'll 99% of the time!
Nice ... do i need a third turkey slaying machine? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
dont we all?

I have heard these come with adjustable sights so you should be able to adjust for that.
I had to adjust my impact to the left about 4 inches, but it was dead on up and down. It was a piece of cake with the adjustable sights.

my father-in-law bought one and i patterned it. it shoots extremely well for a gun straight out of the box . it likes long beard 3 1/2 5's i did have some 3 inchlong beard 6's and it put a 157 in a 10 inch circle, now thats drawing a 10 inch circle and shooting at it, not shooting a blank piece of paper and then drawing a 10 inch circle i did not have to adjust sights on the sxp .
My sxp likes the 3.5 longbeard 5's and 6's. Next year I'm going to test out some hevi shot 6's, 7's and magblends in it as well.
