Remington 20" ga compact 21"

[Hooks' n' Beards']

I am going tomorrow to pick this gun up,i really am not sure if i will get the black synthetic or the realtree hardwoods version,i eventually will be putting a sure shot grip on it so i am undecided about spending the extra 70 dollars for the camo stock and forend. I will be picking up a .575 Carlson turkey choke and i already have 2 boxes of triple beard,1 box of double xx #4,1 box of remington nitro #5's and 1 box of long beard #5's to pattern Thursday after work before i take it Friday hunting.I will be using a tru glow tru bead ghost ring sight for optics on it....

Good luck!  Get you some federal hw7 or hevi 7a to try also.  I don't think you'll go back.

#7 is now legal,but i can't find it anywhere around here.I have looked for it for months,i cant find hevi shot either,so it looks like the ammo i have will have to do this spring.

Ended up going with the Realtree hardwoods hd 21" compact,i attached the fiber optics,sling and installed my choke...excited to put some shells through it Thursday evening and take it hunting Friday.

Oops, I didn't know you were across the line.

I patterned the gun this morning,the triple beard 5,6,7 give me the best pattern out to 30 yards,longbeards were good as well but i will be shooting the triple beards the last 3 weeks this year.

Picked up 4 boxes of federal mag shok fc yesterday,also put deposit on the 20 ga sureshot grip as they had to order it in from supplier.I should have it by end of June.I am thinking of having gun/stock dipped this summer.I have not decided on which pattern i want yet though.

[Hooks' n' Beards']

I picked up 2 more boxes of Federal FC #5 3" today along with a tightwad choke.I now have 11 boxes of shells,5 different types to tinker with this summer.I am sending it to be dipped in July and it will be drilled and tapped,i am not sure if i will use a scope but i will be ready if i decide too.I will be carrying this little gun a wee bit the rest of the season,as i shot a 19.8 lbs,1"spurs and 9.5" bearded tom this morning with my 12 ga Browning Bps NWTF 3.5",one tag to go...

So,i have decided to have it dipped in tiger stripe-Vietnam when my shurshot grip and forend come in.I will be looking into a scope or a red dot as well.I have it narrowed down to the trs-25 from bushnell,leupold 1-4 with turkey plex,simmons pro diamond or a bushnell 1.75 with circle-plex....I may or may not use a scope but i am getting it drilled and tapped.I have only had gun in the woods on two hunts so far.Maybe take it later this week.

Looks like you got yourself a good start.  I think this may be my next shotgun also.  Have one of your shops order some of the hevi shot and/or the fed heavy weight 7's, even if it takes a while.  Like you said, you'll be shooting and resting this summer.  Good luck, remember to put pics up after the camo job, and pattern pics......or it didn't happen!?

I cant seem to figure out how to get pictures on this forum anymore.I seen that you can order the gun skin in tiger stripe-vietnam.I will try that before i spend close to 300 dollars for a dip.I have used the mossy oak graphic kits on a handful of guns and they work great.Hard to beat for the price and it gives me a project at home for the off season.
