What is the length of pull for this gun?
According to one website its 13.5 inches. I'm looking at this gun hard. Only negative I can find is the crappy trigger but its that way on most shotguns....
I am pretty much sold on the gun and was just curious. I shoot left handed and had to make sure sAfety could be switched over. Otherwise, would already have one
I also shoot left handed. Can the safety be switched over to shoot lefty?
Yes it can, but weatherby said there is a special part needed and gun must be sent back to have it done for around $40-50. Can't order one that way, it is considered a custom order. Have to send it back
I have talked to a few that said their trigger was fine out of the box, so I think it's hit or miss. However the majority I've heard are not good. I'm gonna admit however, it is by far the best pure turkey gun I've ever hunted with.

Love mine!!!
I don't think anyone has purchased this gun and regretted it... I had the older model and now the newer model. loved them both.
I have the older one (2014 model) and notice nothing bad at all about the trigger. I point it and fire it. Now, to be fair, I am not a rifle shooter and barely notice trigger pull that others may complain about, so I may not be the best judge, but I pulled mine out of the box, slapped in my choke of preference, sighted in the sights (used Federal game loads to get it close) and tested them with HW #7 at 40, 30 and 15. 3 dead birds all say it is fine.
my buddy just bought this gun and the trigger was horrible got it back from being fixed and adding a center bead last Thursday patterned it Frday and killed his first bird with it Sunday. He put a Trulock Fed HW choke in it and it's dead on with the bead sight's. This will be my next Turkey gun.

New or old? What is a horrible trigger? I have just never really encountered trigger issues on any firearm (other than single action revolvers or autos - that took a little getting used to get accurate).
Picked mine up Friday. The trigger pull is very heavy with tons of creep. A horrible trigger. I'm surprised because our two SA-08's have excellent triggers IMO. Will be sending the trigger off to be worked on this week.
Mine was pulling about 7 lbs and broke all the way back almost to the trigger guard. You had no idea when the gun was gonna fire. Sent it to Rob Roberts gun works. It now pulls 3.5-4 lbs and breaks early.

This is mine too. I need to send it off after the season is over.
the trigger isnt ideal but its a turkey gun and a heavy pull isnt nearly as important as a rifle and 300+ yd shots.
how expensive is trigger work
Exactly my thoughts .. it's a shotgun, not a 300 mag. Never really bothered me...

That makes sense Gophert. Just wondered what every one was talking about. I don't notice anything unusual about mine at all, nor does anyone that has shot it, so I reckon it is fine.
Mine is 7 1/2 pounds on a 6 pound gun plus tons of creep. It's easy to pull off a bird when the trigger pull is that long and heavy. Just my thoughts, but I have killed 4 birds with it this year one at 42 yards so it still gets it done.

Everyone has their idiosyncrasies and one of mine is triggers. I'll be having mine worked on. I'm lucky in that my gunsmith is in Ponder about eight miles from me. His name is Larry Pockrus, he's very good, has a fast turnaround and his rates are excellent. He's charged $45.00 for the other trigger work he's done for me.
Picked mine up from the gunsmith Friday. It now has a crisp 3.5 lb pull. Well worth $45.00 to me.

I just picked up two of the lill 20 ga, and the triggers were terrible. Work on them is now being done..
