I've set up several Winchesters 1300's and if you try an Indian Creek .660 choke tube in your new 1300 w/ Hevi-13, 6's and 7's,  I think you will be very pleased.

Believe it or not I got amazing results with the new HS Undertaker XT choke in my 26" 1300 Universal Hunter this spring.  20 bucks!

Congratulations! The 1300s are very light guns and carry well in the turkey woods. The laminated stocks hold up very well and won't warp or be affected by most weather conditions. The Win-Choke thread pattern chokes will allow you to choose from many brands and designs of turkey chokes, so you'll have many choices.

That gun is also a very quick shooter. When you fire a shell, the forend will almost automatically begin its backward movement to eject and chamber a new shell. When hunting turkeys, it's important to keep some forward pressure on the forend so that you can hold that gun steady.

Lastly, I'd encourage you to "deep clean" the bore. That way you can see if your gun likes a clean, slightly dirty or dirty bore to pattern at its best. It's really the only way to know.

Again, congratulations and I wish you all the best with your 1300.

Thanks,
Clark

I second that, it's almost automatic!
