Spring Creek Calls



Been thinking about a different look for the Winchester and I finally did it. Pulled the synthetic stock and forend and replaced them with good old wood. 22" barrel, .660 IC choke, Tru Glo sights and a couple of barrel stickers. I hunt everything with this gun and it's 3 barrels, rifled (deer),  22" (turkey,grouse) and 26" (waterfowl, pheasant, predator).

The 1300 is a classic, love mine.  Nice job on that one!

It looks like you have the look you were after. Congratulations.

Thanks,

I love it. When I saw the post my first thought was Noooooooo. What can you possibly do to my favorite 1300. but this is a classic look. I like it. Reminds me of the green laminated NWTF version that I love so much.

After looking for the green laminated stock and forend for a couple years, I gave up and went with dark stained birch. The toughest part was finding a ribbed forend that fits a 6-1/4" slide tube.

I lovey 1300! I don't feel right when I'm in the spring woods with out it! My dad gave it to say before I was big enough to shoot a 12 ga. We both have one of the laminated Rob Keck engraved NWTF guns.

Just share some info with you since we're talking about 1300's mine loved a non ported undertaker with flite control 6's. But now I'm shooting the same choke you have a IC .660 with mag blends and long beard 6's

As an owner myself of the 1300 that's a good looking turkey rig plus your other barrels, its an all around shotgun for sure. :firefighter:
