I was wondering if any of you guys had this gun, or have ever shot it. It has an 18 inch barrel. I know you want it shorter when turkey hunting, but is that maybe to short, or is it a great turkey gun. I own a benelli nova, and was just wanting to expand my firearm selection....thanks

A friend of mine bought one after spring turk season. Shot the some of the first rounds thru it. The speed pump takes a little gettin used to but what a nice package, i give it a 9.5

I bought one last January. I think it's a great gun. I shot my biggest (27 lbs) tom to date this spring with it. It shoots well, but I'm still searching for the best choke tube for it.

My son (doall hunter) has one, the NWTF edition with the 22" barrel. My dad hunted with it for years and killed several turkeys using the factory full choke. He gave it to my son this year. I think it is a really good turkey gun. Light, handles well. I will be patterning it next weekend using an undertaker .675 and 3" Hevi-13 #6 and #7 loads.
