My new custom dedicated turkey gun is ready!

[lunghit]

Thanks guys and Tarjac did an excellent job. I hope to have a bird with it by the end of the month but it's a rough season for me. Had some very nice looking patterns with it and an I.C. 575 but will hopefully get to finish the patterning job tomorrow.

Do you like having the sight mounted on your vent rib? How sturdy is it?

Only a few shots fired through it but I will be putting more through tomorrow. So far its fine and from all the reviews on Meadow Creek Mounts I am expecting it to be fine. I will be sighting in and firing some heavy Apex loads tomorrow after I leave the woods.

[Mr. Nasty]

Please keep us posted. I'm interested in the vent rib mount style

[BINK McCARTY]

Yes, please keep us up to date on how it patterns and how well the camo holds up. Again, that's a great lookin gun!

[DUCKDIGGLER]

She came out nice!

Any updates to share? How is the cheek weld with the rib mount and RMR ? 

[lunghit]

The gun throws a great pattern using an IC 575 and Apex 3" number 8's. I did not count pellet holes but I will when I have to sight in again. Now I am changing sights for 2 reasons but not because of cheek weld or the Meadow Creek mount. I simply do not like the way the buttons on the Trijicon are arranged and also the fact that I will have to remove the sight to change batteries. That gets expensive with TSS because I would always have to confirm zero again.

The meadow creek mount did make the Trijicon sit high and I did put on a Neoprene Accu-Riser for proper cheek weld but I really don't think you can avoid that with any scope or red dot. I see guns all the time without a cheek riser but I believe they are just lifting their heads enough to see the red dot and making it work. I could have done the same with the Trijicon but I want proper shooting form. I have an Aimpoint Micro S1 on the way and still might need that cheek pad.

Good luck with it, you'll love the Aimpoint, sits nice and low....

Thanks Tom. It's arriving today and should be heading up to turkey camp on Wednesday and Thursday to hunt and sight in. I'll let you know how things go.

Lh.......good feedback sir! Very much appreciated! I have a SX4 Universal Hunter in 20 ga on the way shortly and I happen to have a S-1 Aimpoint sitting unused in my safe......hmmm !

[lunghit]

My SX4 in 20 gauge shoots dead on POA/POI at 40 with the bead. I'm going to hunt it with just a bead because sometimes I just want simplicity. I killed a turkey the other day with that gun and while I much prefer a red dot the simple bead was kind of nice lol. You will love the SX4

[DUCKDIGGLER]

Excellent point. I have an 870 compact that I use a bead only on.....eyes aren't as good as they once were so don't prefer it BUT I'm with you on simplicity. Especially if there may be rain showers or towards the end of the season with green-up.....where things can get real up close and personal. I will check POA/POI and go from there.

Oh....check out the Will Primos vest thread.....some info and pics in there for you.

I saw and responded. Thanks again for that! It looks like a great vest and is high on my list.
