Good buy!
The 1300's are very nice guns that shoot very well. You did good. :z-winnersmiley:
THE FIRST GUN I BOUGHT ABOUT 17 YEARS AGO WHEN I FIRST STARTED HUNTING TURKEYS WAS A BLACK 1300 WITH A SMOOTH BARREL WITH RIFLE SIGHTS. SOLD IT AND REGRETTED IT EVER SINCE.. GOING TO SHOOT IT TOMORROW TO ADJ THE TRUGLO SIGHTS. WAITING ON THE FF lll and sumtoy choke tube.
I hope you have better luck than I do with mine. My dad got it for me a while back and I'll probably never sell it because of that but mine has has multiple jams and even a hang fire.
Once when I was hunting I had a shell misfire and so I went to cycle out one shell and it went off halfway through the cycle blowing the fumes back in my face.
I tried one last time last year to use it and cannot get the gun to pattern out to 40 at all so I'm buying a new gun this year.

hope yours is a isolated case. i'll find out tomorrow. i had no problems with first one i bought but that doesn't mean anything. i guess there are lemons in all brands and models of guns.
Yeah I hope do to. It's a beautiful gun with the Camo laminated wood stock but it's been a royal pain. Will always have sentimental value because my dad got it for me though.
enjoy your new gun and have an great season and kill-um. :OGturkeyhead:
Sounds like great deal!! :you_rock:
Nice gun, congrats!
Looks like a turkey slayer for sure!
one good looking turkey rig
Had one just like it, and it patterned great!!
You'll like it just fine!! :icon_thumright:
God Bless,

I got one in 1989 and over 100 turkeys have been killed with it since. It has never given me a moments trouble.
SHOT GUN TODAY TO ADJ THE TRUGLO FIBER OPTIC SIGHTS. FIRST SHOT WAS WITH 2 3/4 # 7 FIELD LOADS. ADJ SIGHTS AND SHOT AGAIN WITH SAME LOAD. LITTLE MORE ADJ THEN SHOT A HEVI-13 #6. GOOD PATTERN USING THE WIN X-FULL THAT CAME WITH GUN. THEN SHOT A MAG BLEND 5,6,7. DEAD BIRD. I AM HAVING TROUBLE SEEING SIGHTS DUE TO AGE. 70. GOT A FF lll AND A SUMTOY CHOKE ON ORDER. I FEEL COMFORTABLE TO SHOOT A BIRD AT 25 TO 30 YDS NOW.

Congrats schief, that's a fine looking turkey killer. :icon_thumright:
Heres a Few Pics of my 2 Winchester 1300's,Black one is Used for Deer Huntin mostly and the Camo one is my fathers Turkey Slayin Machine.Both of these Guns will always be in our family.I Used the Black one to kill my first deer as did my brother.I Do not use either anymore,My brother has adopted the Black 1300 for Deer and Turkey huntin.
Great buy :icon_thumright:
I won my 1300 at a Turkey Banquet. The receiver wasn't drilled and tapped so I had that done. I'm going to try it this spring on turkey. The only thing I have with it is the speed pump action. When I fire it, it will throw the fired case out almost like a automatic. Just a little hard for me to get used to.

Solid gun for a great price!
