They are real turkey killers !  I have 2 of them !

What choke and load are you using?

[TnTurk]

I've got the laminated model with the 22 inch barrell. It put 220 in 10 inch at 40 yards using HS 3-2-7 and a .670 PG choke.  It's putting 80% of the pattern in a 20 inch circle at 40 yards. However, they do seem to kick like a pissed off mule for a 3 inch gun.

I would like one in 20 ga. Fine guns.

They seem to be very popular guns. Most people who have them, like them. They have the standard Winchester i.d. barrel and accept Win-Chokes, so you have a pretty good choice. Most that I've seen have good bores.

That's a short barrel. I would not be too concerned about numbers of pellets in a given circle as much as a good even pattern. The Hevi-13 shells work very well in those guns and I'd look at the #6 or #7 shot, 3" "Bronze" shells with 2 oz. of shot.

Good luck with the gun if you decide to buy it.

Thanks,
Clark

A guy owed me some money & instead of cash he brought me a Win 1300 NWTF & asked if it would do, I'm like "sure" .

It shoots purty good but as stated it kicks like a horse but then again every Win I ever had did.

I won one at a Turkey banquet a few years ago as a early bird prize. Camoflaged stock and fore arm, blued receiver and barrel. It has a 26" vent ribbed barrel. I do notice it when I pull the trigger!!!!!!!

I have the NWTF 1300 Turkey Short camo and they came with a 18" nonvented ribbed barrel that i take to the mtn to hunt them birds. yep they do seem to kick like a pissed off mule so i had to put a limb saver on it. it shoots the nitros great or my TSS 8ball load. they are great guns and i love it.

I ran across one about a year ago at a gun show in a near by town.  I almost bought one and from what I have heard, I should have.
