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.

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.

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 !
