Thats what I plan to carry this year. Have one I bought about 10 years ago that I just fixed up for this year. It shot fed hwt 7s great with the HS undertaker in in .575, but plan to use tss this year.

I wanted the 22" but the 26" was 50 dollars cheaper so I went that route.

I shoot one. 22" barrel. Fed 7 with ssx 550 puts up 150's
Tss with Indian Creek .555 gets me over 300. Just bought a 500 turkey tactical with a 20" barrel. Ought to be a step up. Never any issue with poi but they come drilled and tapped which is a big plus in my book.

I have one I used for two years. Federal copper plated #6 shot 3inch 1 /516 oz shot or the federal hvw # 7! Tru glo ssx choke tube combo has been good for me.

Used one the past few years, took a nice tom in the fall of '14 and real nice 28 lb'er last spring. I used 3" Win #5 lead loads (can't find HW7s around here very often). Mine shoots to POA with most loads tested.
