Bought this gun after reading lots of reviews. Ain't the prettiest gun in the woods, but really not that bad either. Kind of reminds me of a overgrown Rem. 1100, just a little rougher around the edges. For $300 for a 3.5 auto that has cycled everything I have feed it down to the lightest field loads I think it's pretty good. It has a 28" barrel and I decided to get a Sumtoy from William. My results kind of surprised me, tried the 3.5" turkey thugs in #5 and #6, win. hv 3.5" #6, win.xx 3.5-2.25-6, and had 1 fed. mag-shok 3.5-2-5 (fcw) shell. Really thought I would pull the best pattern and numbers from the #6 thugs, they weren't bad but thats not what happened.
Win. hv 3.5-2-6 = 115
Win. xx 3.5-2.25-6 = 130
Fed. turkey thug 3.5-2-6 = 127
Fed. turkey thug 3.5-2-5 = 129
Fed. mag-shok (fcw) 3.5-2-5 = 138
The fcw feds really shocked me, these things are usually really picky and don't normally do to good for me in anything I have tried them in

Think I like the fed turkey thug 3.5-2-5 pattern better.

not bad at all
some good looking patterns
138 with 5s is strong. I don't care what kind of wad it has.
That looks like a dead bird to me!
