My father in law has one just like it he is thinking about selling, if he decides to I will own it. They shoot really good patterns with the jellyhead

I have the same gun as u, got it last year. I have .665 jellyhead shooting 3.5" #6 longbeards, at 40 yds. I got 247 hits in 10" circle. Some folks say its too tight  for up close, but I shot one bird at about 10- 15 yds. and another at about 40yds.  Was going to try 5s just to see how they did but never got around to it.  Good luck and enjoy your new gun.

I have had that same gun for a good while. Mine does great with a .665 Indian creek tube and various nitro ammo loads and hevi 13 loads.
  Much has been said about this combo in other posts lately. Lots of great choke tubes out there for it and several good loads. Have fun with it.

Yep; I got some #6 3.5" LB"s last night; gonna try this out of stock factory choke first, and then proceed from there.

10-4; thx for your experienced "tip"; there has been a lot written, it's kinda tough to wade through & find all the posts...  But, bottom line -- VERSATILE GUN with MANY OPTIONS available to it...  I look forward to using it this turkey season, and hopefully MANY to come!!  Thx man!

.650 Sumtoy or .660 rhino with the 2.25ounce hevi13 6's or mag blend.

Ditch the lead and start shooting some HTL.

For sure, man; I've been using HTL for years now...

I had the same stock on my 870 SM..... Took it off..... I had a hard time with the cheek rest bruising the side of my face.... I shoot magnum blend 3" out of a hevi-13

Put the same stock on my 870 when it first came out and took it off. Had to really dig my check down into it or I would shoot high. Always felt like I'd been in a fight for a few days after shooting a turkey. Sold it and went back to the regular stock. I think it would have been great if I used a scope. My gun shoots great with longbeard 5's and a comp-n-choke. Chuck
