My Winchester 1300 is almost 20 years old, has hunted in Michigan, Missouri, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and S. Dakota, and is responsible for tagging over 50 gobblers. Now she's ready for the next chapter in her life.

My 60 year old eyes can't focus on the Tru-glo open sights anymore so I have elected to go with a scope as many do. Here it is with the NWTF Leupold 2-7 x 33 mm mounted on a Weaver base and Leupold rings (both matte). She's all bore sighted and ready for the range...can't wait!

Scope looks silver.

Nope, that's just from the flash. It's actually a matte finish bronze color that Leupold called "Dark Earth" for the NWTF version of their shotgun scopes. It looks better on the gun than in the photos, trust me. Here are a couple pics without the flash-
