Hey, I bought one in late march used it in four diff. states and was able to complete my slam with it. I missed one bird that was my fault but every other bird shot did not even try to get up. The longest shot was 41 yards and the shortest was 30. I am shooting heavy shot 3in with a jelly head tube. I LOVE THAT GUN!!!!!

how does the factury turkey choke pattern, is it worth spending the $$$$ on an aftermarket choke tube?

what kind of quality issues should I be concerned with? anything specific?

hey, now I'm a spike! In WI I guess that still means I'm technically a doe, so I dont know why I'm bragging! Oh well

I didn't try hevishot through it. But several lead loads didn't give me acceptable patterns with the factory turkey choke. It's diameter is .674. You'd be well served to look at an aftermarket tube somewhere in the .655 diameter. I've had very good results with the .655 comp-n-choke.

BTW. I bought mine this spring in the HD Advange for $399. You'll see them in stores from $399-450.
