I held one of those exact guns on Monday at the Ace hardware store outside of Winchester. Build quality was really nice. Super piece of walnut on it. One thing to watch for was the trigger was problematic. It would not pull back. Gun was taken apart by the shop and put back together again and seemed to work fine then. They said the transfer bar was sticking. Said they had never seen that before and would probably send the gun back.

PS. The new hot gun because of TSS is the Steven 310 turkey version in .410. They can't keep them in stock. Camo and with a Weaver type rail installed and a choke tube designed for TSS. No where in stock anywhere. Folks are getting 40 yard groups that are flat out amazing in a package that weighs about 5 lbs.

Double PS. Avid turkey hunter, just telling you what's out there. My Benelli SBE is currently on GB being sold. 4 years ago I switched to 20 gauge and haven't looked back. Shoot size 7 Heavyweight and have a 20 year supply most likely. I don't shoot TSS in size 9. I would however try it in size 7 if I had a need.

FWIW, they have had some issues with Longbeard ammo and misfires. Apparently in really hot environments the resin that encapsulates the shot charge has melted and leeched back into the powder charge and caused squib rounds. Bad things can happen when you don't realize that and go to pump another round in to shoot a fleeing bird.
