Is this particular model factory drilled & tapped for scope mount?

Wondering the same

That's a good deal! I have one in 12 ga 26" barrel and it's a good buy for sure.

For that price I'd just get it drilled locally if needed.

 

[Rebels20]

You just cost me $450 thanks.

 

[Displaced_Vol]

I don't own one, a friend has one of the 20 gauges in black I think. They seem like real good guns for the money

 

[Antler Daddy]

i am always a sucker for that old school mossy oak

Do these guns have good point of impact?

every shotgun is different so nothing is a sure thing. Ive never seen anything on these to say they dont shoot at POI personally vs some like benelli that shoot high (the 3 benelli I own all shoot POI so maybe I was lucky)

this post cost me money

 

[Antler Daddy]

Wasn't this gun like $309 yesterday…if so, stupid me for not ordering.

 

[Gravey]

I can no longer imagine NOT having some type optical sight on my turkey guns.
Burris Fastfire or Traditional Scope.

No it is not

I have the 1st generation version of Weatherby's 20 ga turkey autoloader.
It's my "go-to" turkey gun.
1st generation was factory drilled & tapped for scope.
Main visible difference was non-ribbed barrel, and barrel is flat black rather than camo finished.
Gun itself (other than barrel) is camo.

Tempting

That is a great turkey gun , I got one last year. It's not drilled and tapped but a Meadow creek mount is your friend! That's exactly what I put on mine and I really like it. No need to drill and tap unless you desire.

Y'all keep posting here and I'm gonna buy one. I luv that old school camo pattern. It blows any realtree pattern away.

My Weatherby autoloader turkey gun was manufactured the very 1st year Weatherby conceived the idea of a 20 ga "turkey" gun.

Unlike the newer models, the original did not have a ribbed barrel, so there is nothing to attach the Meadow creek mount. However, the original was factory drilled & tapped for receiver mounted optics.

In retrospect, I'm actually glad there is no rib atop the barrel, simply because there is a smaller horizontal view (from a turkey's view) without the rib raising the top to bottom depth of the barrel.
When the gun has to be moved, side to side, less chance a turkey might see that barrel move.

Also as to the original, the camo stock pattern is in Realtree Xtra Green.

All versions are great little turkey guns.

I've got this guns and like it a lot. It's a backup to my franchi. I have it will a .575 trulock. I also wood duck hunt with it

 

[Rebels20]

did anyone happen to get one of these and not like it? I am wanting to get my dad one and of course they no longer have this deal available.

 

[Gobble4me757]

Love mine and it's a Turkey killa. My buddy's that sent it to delayed and they don't have any in like you said. Hope they get back in stock

I've got one I'll sell. It's set up for Apex Greenleaf and has already killed a turkey. It has Meadow Creek mount, fastfire3, Indian Creek .562, and matching bottomland Browning sling. I want to sell as package. 5 shells fired. All accessories were bought new in last month. Carried one hunt. Awesome set up, just have my eye on something else. PM me if interested.
