Does anyone have one?  How do you like it?

Killed my best turkey ever with it a few years ago.  Shoots better than any cartridge gun I ever tried until the Hevi-Shot stuff came out.  I really enjoyed hunting with mine for 4 years, but I have not used it now since the 2005 season.  I may sell it if you are interested.  I just ordered a new breech plug and mechanism for it as I lost it in my last move.  Gun is like new and I have a bunch of Knight shot, wads, etc. with it.  It is sighted in for 45 yards with the fiber optic sights. 

Turkey had 1 3/4" spurs and the DEC said it was at least 5 years old...likely older.  Cool!

Mine is the full camo version.

It showed 100% consistent killing patterns at 50 yards with #5 shot.  That thing is amazing.  I have never killed a turkey that far away...or even tried...but this thing could do it!  I believe the load was 2.5 ounces of #5 over 120 grains of Pyrodex, but it has been several years.
Be honest with yourself.  Can you guarantee you would hit a paper plate at 250 yards...100 yards...50 yards?  Then you have no business replacing the plate with a live animal.

I like mine but have only shot clay pigeons so far, and targets.  It handles real easy and balances well.  Nice sights.

They come with an extra full screw in choke.  I called the factory about other chokes and got I think an Improved cylinder (or cylinder bore?), but had a hard time finding the modified choke but got one on ebay a few years ago.  The factory told me the other chokes were poor sellers cuz it is mainly used for turkey.

I talked to an avid goose hunter at Cabelas who swears by his for goose. He Said it held a tighter pattern and reached further than a 10 guage smokeless but I can't verify that.
