Yes I did pick it up last week. Mounted a FF3 and screwed in a .555 Indian creek choke. Last night at 41 yds It put 361 in the 10". Never thought I would say it, Pattern is to tight for my liking with not much wiggle room.  Did some chatting with Reloaded and he suggested a .585 in either a Truelock or Carlson's, I have a Truelock on the way.   May send the trigger off to have some work done, it has some creep and is prob a 7 pound pull.

The 365 was with a 3" 1 5/8oz hand load of TSS #9  ( Lil Hammer load)

Where are you sending your trigger group? I would like to get the trigger done on my new Bottomland SX3 20 gauge.

Yes it is. Picked it up a few weeks back.

Had a guy list a couple chokes I was interested in but somebody snagged those up in a New York minute!!

Good chance it will go to Rob Roberts, have heard some good things about his service and a fast turn around.

That's where I am thinking about sending mine. He did a Browning for a buddy and I am thinking did his M2 as well.
