I have one ordered but probably won't get it till 1st week in May so hopefully I will get to hunt with some this year.

I got a phone call today I will have my gun Thursday.

I may have an opportunity to buy one of these tomorrow. One is suppose to come in and the guy said to call him at noon.

I have one ordered also but my dealer is still saying he won't get it until after season. Which is okay I recon, gives me all year to do plenty of shooting.

Excited to see the updates above that they're shipping already. I've got one on order as well but haven't heard from the dealer on it yet. Handled the gun at the convention and really liked it.

Got all the accessories for it. Just need the part that goes bang. Patiently waiting  :blob10:

Apparently all I had to do was post on the thread about it ;D

I got a call like 2 hours after I posted that the gun was in. I picked it up yesterday. Really like it and can't wait to get out and see what it'll do.

I also picked my shotgun up yesterday,I really like the gun but am not satisfied with the pattern of the factory choke at all.

I got my FF3 mounted today so ill be shooting it in a few days. This by far the lightest turkey gun I've ever held.
 It really feels good in the hand . Ill keep yall posted on the pattern

What shells did you run through it? Just curious. I've got some Apex, Salt Creek, and Epic shells, but haven't put anything through it yet.

This is the last weekend of our North zone, so I'll be hunting this weekend. May try to run a couple of boxes of target loads through it if I get time or if I get my last bird. We'll see how that goes though. I want to break it in a bit and then clean it really well before I start dialing it in for next year.

I shot Federal 9s,#6 and #7 Heavyweight and Longbeard 5s,It started raining before I could try anything else. The 9s did around 180 in 10 at 40yds and HW 7s did around 100,the barrel was dirty because I had ran a box of dove loads thru it.You think the dirty barrel affected my patterns much.

 Im gonna go out on a limb and say dont even waste anymore time on that choke. Sumtoy, Indian Creek or nothin.

I would say you are dead on with what you are saying, I am gonna be patient and see what kind of results others get and weigh my options on chokes and loads,I am brand new to TSS been shooting HW for alot of years.

I spent some time with mine it yesterday. heres my thoughts.

As I already said this is the lightest 20 gauge ive ever held.
  Gun felt and preformed great.

  I shot about 20 cheepo shells then ran a rag trough the tube before switching to tss.
  It cycled perfect. no misfires or jams.
  I didn't count but at 30 yards i got maybe 90% (or more) #9 in a ten inch circle using a .555 Indian Creek' .
  Very happy with that.
  2 things I dont really like but I can work with.
  1: Trigger is heavy. I already spoke with a gun smith so that'll be addressed soon.
  2: The safety is verry accessible ,smooth and quiet but because of its size i can feel it on the base of my trigger finger. I dont think there's anything I can do there. It just seems odd. But again its workable.

  Overall its a sweet little gun.
