Saw it. Held it. Loved it. Purchased it.

Can't wait to hunt with it.

The web of my hand and cheek hurts just thinking about dropping the hammer on a 3 1/2" turkey load with that stock! [:@]

Let us know how it feels when you actually shoot it.

its a nice gun, but I couldn't shoulder it fast enough with the thumbhole...too pricey for my taste

Those things are waaayyy too big. The length of the stock is about 2"-3" too long for me.

OUCH!!!!! THAT IS BEAUTIFUL SHOTGUN, BUT IT HURTS MY WALLET AND HAND JUST THINKING ABOUT IT.

The thumbhole would help mild the kick not hurt more. It would be a nice gun but its a little heavy, not good for wing shooting, and can you say expensive.

I have never had a thumb hole stock but I bet the control is alot better

Just try to switch hands if the turkey comes in on your right side ! For that reason that stock SUCKS !!!!!!!!!
Here is a link to a pic of my 11-87 turkey gun .
It has a Speed Feed stock .
Over the years I have shot turkeys with the gun on both shoulders.
Just put the dot on it's head and pull the trigger !
