I handled one and it looks identical to a Weatherby. Probably from the same factory I would guess.
It felt good when I shouldered it but I wasn't looking for a 12 gauge.

Had one of the camo O/U, great shooting gun, killed several turkeys with it.

Then it decided to double fire with two 3" turkey loads in it.... it brought the pain. :violent1:

Company "fixed" the problem but I sold it as I couldn't trust the gun anymore.

I wouldn't wish that on my worse enemy.... shoulder wasn't right for 2 weeks, my nose bled for an hour and my ears rang for 6 hours.

When I talked to the folks at tristar they seemed real surprised that it happened, apparently they're just good liars.... :angry5:

I guess can't be completely mad.... killed the turkey (23 lbs, 12 1/2" beard, 1 3/8 spur but broke the other 3/4). :mrgreen:

Well...I went out and bought a tri star raptor...Now, after taking the extemely ridiculous, piece of monkey crap, what the hell were they thinkin when they put that trash on there, sights off and mounting a red dot on there it looks better. I'm waiting to shoot...And waiting impatiently...since when does it freakin snow in central arkansas in March!!! I'm usually listening to turkeys gobble already while impatiently waiting for mid April. But now...waiting on warmer weather to pattern my new gun with winchester longbeards. I have a few chokes and longbeards in 4s, 5s, and 6s.
