10 Yr Old Daughters Turkey Gun Complete

[gophert]

Sand Man,

I love this gun.  I have not even shot it yet since it is for my daughter's bday in July.  She is currently shooting an older 870 Youth model and it shoots great..so I'm not thinking this gun will be much different.

The ability to adjust the length of the Knoxx stock is what makes this 20 ga.  She can shoot it and SO CAN I.  I have a knoxx stock on my 870 12 ga, but I just love how light and small this gun is.  I am easily getting 130+ in a 10" at 40 so I can't complain.  Next season, I will be using this some if she lets me.

Thanks for the info!  I like the idea of the adjustable stock where my wife can use it as well.

I sooooo want to get this gun dipped!   Why don't you ginny pig the do-it-yourself camo dipping kit for me and let me know how that turns out.  I'm too scared I'd mess it up and ran out of fun money to get this one dipped.


The FF2 is going on in a week or so.

I've about decided to build me one like you have there, however I think I am going to look for a 26" slave gun for the project, add a Knoxx, a forend, get it tapped for a rail, add optics, and get her dipped in Nat Gear. Should be a heck of a project for next year's gun.  

Sounds like exactly what I'm about to do with the gun I found in the pawn shop.  I'm 100% putting the FFII off the SBE on it.  Granted that the gun patterns like I want before I run off buying stocks, drilling and tapping receiver, and dipping.

Here's my M1 20ga I had dipped in NatGear:

Wish I could force myself to put a red-dot on it as good as it patterns, but it shoots too sweet on ducks to do it.  

Sorry pics are way to big to embedded, so I just linked them.
