Title: New turkey gun!!!
Post by: dawgfrombama on April 13, 2017, 09:24:29 PM
Been looking for a NWTF 1300 for years.  Found one this week that was brand new in the box and never fired.  I wanted one with a rifle sight barrel and this one has it.  Had to outbid some folks on the online auction but I got it!!!  I was looking for one in good condition still cant believe I found one new with all the papers.

Ordered a Carlson's .660 choke.  I got a stash of Mag Blends and Winchester HI-Density 6s. One of these should pattern well enough to kill a bird at 40 yrds.

Try some Hevi 13 straight #7's , if your two rounds doesn't pattern well. My 1300 with the Carlson .660 patterns great with the Hevi 13, 230 hits in a 10" circle @ 40 yds and 280 in 10" circle @ 30 yds.

Got really good patterns out of the Win Hi-Density 6s and the Mag Blends. I'm going with the 6s a little less recoil.  Both patterned really well out of the gun.  I'll post pics on the pattern forum.

Nice, I have a few questions about these gun.
1. Are the vent rib guns newer models?
2. Do some have 21in barrels?  Or are all of them 22in?  I was reading some stuff online and got confused.
3. Is there a 20ga?

I'm only talking about the laminate camo version like  above...

Mine has a 22" bbl. Not sure about the barrels but you see fewer of the rifle sight barrels.
