Nice looking rig. What kind/brand of stock is that? Does anybody know if that stock would fit onto a Stevens 301?

Don't know if it will fit your Stevens, but here's where I ordered it from.

One thing I can tell you guys is that at only 4 pounds 12 ounces, she kicks like a frigging mule with those Apex TSS turkey loads!!!
Good thing you normally only shoot once when you're turkey hunting, and you're so amped up that you don't even feel it!! :D

Good looking gun, I have a Rossi I fixed up simular to yours, those little single shots make one heck of a turkey gun. Good luck with it this spring.

Did a little range time today. On the 20 gauge, I shot 3" Apex TSS loads using their Small Town Hunting Blend, which is a #7-1/2 and #9 duplex load. At 40 yards I got 281 hits on a 8-1/2" x 11" paper target. 87 of those hits were on the body of the gobbler.
Next, I moved out to 60 yards with the same gun and load. Not quite the numbers some other guys have been achieving with TSS. 97 hits on a 8-1/2" x 11" paper target, with 27 on the body of the gobbler. I think that ethically this is a 50 yard gun. But that's OK! 80% of my gobblers have been at 20 yards or less, with the rest in the 30 & 40 yard ranges. I've only taken 2 gobblers beyond 50 yards, both at 54 yards.
I also switched over to an Indian Creek choke and TSS on my 12 gauge land cannon this year. At 40 yards with a 3-1/2" Small Town Hunting Blend of #7-1/2 & #9, it put 382 hits on an 8-1/2" x 11" paper target, with 162 hits on the body of the gobbler.
At 60 yards, the land cannon put 170 hits on the 8-1/2" x 11" paper target, with 75 hits on the body of the gobbler. Considering the target isn't life size, which equates to more body hits on a real gobbler, I'd say that set up is a legit 60 yard gun. Not that I've ever shot a bird at 60 yards, but it's pretty cool to see those numbers with your gun.
