Anyone have this shotgun and use it?  I am really thinking about picking one up now after this season. My super nova is just to heavy. 

What do you think?

Do I need to have it dipped or is the black ok?

i have one in black 20 gauge that has killed several turkeys.  i don't think it has to be dipped but if you really wanted it to be a dedicated turkey gun it might be worth it to you

I have one my son uses.  It's a great gun and I'm thinking of getting another for myself.  Black is great but I did find it would rust easily.  We got it cerakoted and dipped the stock.  I see they make one now that comes cerakoted from the factory.  May be worth looking at.

If you are going to use it strictly for turkey, look at 41335. My son and I have one. 24" barrel, and with a .562 choke it's death with #9 TSS and with a .570 the same with #8.5s.

$803.99 so much cheaper than you could buy the black and have it cerakoted or dipped....

Yes looking to get the 24 inch barrel.

Will it accept a reg stock as well if I want to convert it to full size?
