i just got one about a month ago... let me tell u it is my favorite gun...i've compared it to many turkey guns i've used and absolutely love it... i know what u mean about patters
very tight ....mine has a redot on it... same set up as yours but not sure if u have the red dot on urs... i took it out the first day and shot a gobbler 23and a half pounds 1 inch spurs and a 10.5 inch beard... the gun does the trick ... it hammers em!!
gotta love the 3.5 inch mags.. aaron
