I couldn't stand it! I am real picky about patterning a gun and even though I know once I shoot certain shells they are pretty much the same , I always worry it will be a little different. Lasered 34 yards (we try not to shoot over, 35) Federal TSS 8/10, meadow creek mount/Swampfox Kingslayer. This Weatherby will shoot!
That's a dead turkey right there. Very nice pattern at 34 yards. Pattern density should still be good at 40 yards if you wanted to push it that far.

Just wondering if anyone else has one of these? One just happened to follow me home from a trip to the gun shop to " look " Lol. 20 gauge , 22 inch barrel , inertia driven and 6 pd. I love the feel and look of the gun. Shot it a few times Tuesday between rain and functioned well. Just wondering if anyone else has set one of these up? Anyone use a meadow creek mount ? Do you like the vent rib mount
I've got the waterfowl model 28" barrel. I love it. Great shooting gun and lightweight.

Did you pattern with the straight 9's??
I did not but they usually shoot the same with the Federal as I have shot both before out of that choke tube. I had bought up those 8/10 at my local gun store before prices went crazy. I only have a few 9s left .
