Just wanted to post the results of my first day sighting in my new deer gun. Picked this up last year around Christmas 230.00 I think new.
Topped it off with a Bushnell Banner shotgun scope with 6 inch eye relief.
Bought a box of Hornady XTP 240 gr ammo to use.
Initial sight in was done with the cheapo laser you stick in the barrel at 25 yards.
First shot at 25 yards, dead center on the little diamond in my bullseye. I was thinking wow...pretty lucky I must have flinched the right direction.
Moved back to 50 yards. Dead center windage but a few inches high. Moved my crosshairs up to the hole. Second shot dead on again.
Moved back to 75 yards which is where I was going to sight in. Again...dead center but now an inch high. Adjusted again and now I was dead on again. Followed it up with 4 more shots for fun. All within 1/2 - 1 inch of one another.
I am thrilled with this little gun. I had been using a 870 with a cantilever barrel and after spending tons of money on slugs I still was never to achieve this accuracy on 5 shots. Maybe a few but I always had a few 2-3 off.
If you are looking for a cheap deer gun this season and can get past a single shot I recommend this.
