I found a local guy that will be getting hevi 13 in # 5 and #6 in shortly.I bought this gun there last spring.I will be picking up 2 boxes at least.I am also putting a scope on my gun.I am not a red dot/reflex guy.I like open sights or an old fashioned scope.

I really do not trust batteries and the fancy red dots and reflex sights,I just can't do it for hunting.

I returned the reflex sight and put this bushnell 4x circle plex I purchased new last fall and forgot about in my safe.

Black Death is starting to wear on me....I canceled my order for the camo wrap and I am really liking the all black look for this gun.I am hoping to have the hevi ammo by the 7th of april, and If not I am taking a day trip and heading 4 hours to the closest bass pro shop to have a look around,I haven't been there since 2005.I am wanting to get this gun patterning at 40 yards like it currently does at 30 yards.It has been a chore to find any decent ammo other than the longbeard 3 inch #5's....pretty sad up here...I know for a fact that most do not carry hevi because most hunters are to cheap to buy it and complain about the price.

I found a few boxes of hevi shot magnum blend and bought it,It will be here in a few days.I am hoping it gives me a decent pattern out to 40 yards.I will still be buying a few boxes of hevi 13 in #6 next week if the guy gets it in.How many of you have shot the mag blends?

I broke down and picked up a truglo red dot with green/red dots, for the price I couldn't pass it up and needed the scope for another gun.I think I will get over the trust issue with batteries rather easily...at least I hope so.I am hoping to have all guns ready to go and pattern them next weekend again with the hevi shot ammo.

It seems the only federal heavyweight #7's I can locate are 2 3/4 and I would have to have them shipped.I am now considering a few boxes.How many of you have shot the 2 3/4 # 7's?

I just ordered two boxes of longbeard #6's and have two boxes of mag blends on the way.I hope these pattern out to 40 yards for me so I don't have to buy the #6 hevi 13's when they arrive locally.I may pick up a different choke to test all these shells,I will either buy the hevi choke or the long beard xr choke next weekend, I think.

My gun wrap should be here when i arrive home from work later tonight and I will get started with the job of getting it all wrapped up.I have a week or so before I will be heading to pattern my guns again,so lots of time.

I just spent two hours wrapping the gun with the tiger stripe pattern,I have done 10 guns now,this was my first with "gun skins".The gun turned out really good,I have yet to get one gun 100% perfect,I think it's impossible.I think this was a tricky one,the barrel gave me a few headaches but I am very happy with it and i will get pictures up later this week.

I also had my mag blends arrive.I plan on using the leftovers to wrap a few different scopes/reflex/red dots later this week.It is definitely my favorite camo ever on a gun.I don't see myself sending it to be dipped now.

The two red dots and the reflex sight I bought to try will be here april 11th.So that will give me two weeks to the day to get this and another 20 gauge patterned and dialed in out to 40 yards.I now need to decide on a new sling.I may go with the "claw" but also may just stick with what I have, as I like it and it works.

I believe my goal is to get this gun patterned with the long beard #6's out to 40 yards with either the tightwad or carlson choke that I have,if not then I will try the mag blends and the hevi 13 #6's.

I am heading on a road trip to bass pro early saturday morning,its a 4 hour drive.I put 2 truglo gobble stopper sights on hold.I am going to put one on my encore and one on my 870 and return the others to amazon when they arrive.i may also try and locate some other ammo when i am up there and maybe a few other small items.I am more excited to get away for the day and hang out with a couple good friends.

I put a 27 dollar reflex sight on this gun this morning,then went and patterned it and once I got it dialed in with target load.I put 8- 3" turkey loads through the gun to see if the cheap chinese reflex sight would hold zero and It did.I am sending all other red dots and sights back and keeping the 27 dollar reflex sight on the gun this year.
