1187 Youth Turkey full camo

[Tom Foolery]

Guys the local shop has a youth 1187 in full camo, I think that gun has been discontinued?  Anyone have any experience with one as far as patterning?


Thanks

I've got one.  SSX and Fed 7s went 120-130 at 40yds.   It's back up/ long walk gun.   Only negative I have about that gun is it shoots way off from POA.   But a set of TruGlo sights fixed that.

My son has one.  Yes the POA/POI was off; used Williams' Fire Sights on it for a couple of years, but had it drilled/tapped for a FFIII this year.  With a Hastings .562 at 40 yds HW-7 were 155-160 and Nitro 7s were pushing 180.  Switched to a GSX .565 and 1 3/8 oz TSS 9s this year and it is around 245.

Got one in jan. 2014. 21 inch barrel, promos maxim choke 570 dia. Shoots fed hw7. Puts 160 plus in ten at 40 yds. Has extra recoil pad for length, total camo. Shoots poa. Don't know if rem. still makes it.   Cluck

I just ordered one for my daughter.  Hope it fits her.

Pretty easy to find.

Just dropped mine off to have a Burris 336 mount and FF3 installed.  He's also going to do some work on the trigger.

I bought my son one of these back during duck season, the 21" barrel. I patterned it with several chokes, jelly head, undertaker, gobble stopper and tight wad using 3" hevi 7s. It patterned best with the tightwad .570, got 140-150. I bought a regular 11-87 20ga sportsman with a 26" barrel a little later on and patterned with the same chokes. The jelly head performed better and got the same pellet counts, 140-150s.

Doris uses one as her turkey gun. Currently, she has the SSX in it and shoots 3" Hevi-13 shells with 1.25 oz. of #7 shot. She also has a 28" barrel in addition to the 21" that came with it. Both have Pro-Series sights and work very well. The trigger is a little heavy but not too bad, nothing a Timney Trigger Fix would not take care of, if it ever becomes necessary.
