I have one that will do 2" 3 shot groups from a couple of slugs. It is best with lightfield hybrids, which will do just about 1.5" 3 shot groups at 100. The trigger isn't great, but I have worked on it a bit and it is about 4 lbs and fairly crisp. It sure is ugly though.
I don't think I could get much better from a tar hunt, and I would definately look at the Savage 220 before I went with the t-h.
