I have the 20 and .410. Like them both. I have the 410 and love it I bought my daughter the .410 for Christmas and I’m disappointed in the results. What choke/shell combo are y'all using and and if you put it to paper, what kind of numbers do you get? Gun looks and feels great. My yildiz o/u with factory full shoots way better patterns

I shot Federal TSS and it wasn’t the same. I have heard that Federal changed the wad and it has made a huge difference.

This particular gun is a 3" 12ga with Jebs ported choke. tempted and didnt know anything about them. So it was for sale and you were thinking about buying it? If that is the case, I have an opinion on the stock that you should consider. Personally, I do not like a pistol grip stock on a turkey gun. If you walk like I do, that grip is poking you in the kidney with every step and it sucks when you need to run, crawl, climb, jump, or cross barriers.

Yes, I was looking at buying it to have a turkey only setup

I’m hunting with a second hand Tristar Raptor 12-ga. this year and enjoying it. I mounted a Konus Pro 1.5-5 scope on it. Previous owner had it outfitted with a Carlson’s .675 choke.
I like the set up and think it’ll make a jam-up thicket deer gun too.
It doesn’t like to cycle 1 Oz. Dove loads. But cycles the heavy stuff fine.
I do wonder how a kind of “off brand” gun holds up over the long haul. But I don’t have ton of money in the set/up.
“Killing tomorrow’s trophies today.”
On the distance I like to walk to my stands:
“The first 100 yards is also the last 100 yards.”

I was told by a guy in the know at TriStar. He said if you’re going to shoot the gun over 5,000 times buy the higher grade. If not you will be fine. And I’m talking the different grades of TriStar. Not a different manufacture.
