Got the gun back from the hydro-dipper. I got to say, it looks awesome. I am very happy with the pattern (spring mimicry), the finish (it seems quite durable), and the overall look and feel. Final specs for my Turkey Slayer 500: Mossberg 500 "slugster", Blackhawk gen II telescoping stock & forend, aftermarket 20" barrel, hevishot turkey choke, 2.5 power scope, slogan outdoors sling. Turkeys better watch out!
