    Default Turkey Gun

    Ive had multiple people asking and messaging about my gun that was in the turkey picture. So instead of responding each time ill do a "build" post.

    Started off as a plain old Savage 555 o/u 20ga. The gun has a single selective trigger, 26"bbl, and extractors. Initial impression is how light the gun was. It points great and has above average wood IMO. The trigger is also pretty good.



    Decided on going with the IC 555 in the top barrel shooting TSS and the factory full with Fed HW 7s in the bottom

    This is the bottom barrel, Factory Full with HW7s at 22 yards (ranged)


    This is showing both barrels at 45 yards (ranged) respectively. Hit slightly left with the top barrel and TSS but that was shooter error.


    So now the ammo is sorted out I sent the barrels and receiver to TNT aka Senior for a bath. Then added a rib mount, FF3, and Claw sling. Totalled the gun is around 6lbs loaded. This gun is absurdly light and usually is the first comment when someone else holds it.

    Sent you a PM about your 555 setup
