22 lbs, beard right at 10 inches.
I am very fortunate to have finally got some prime private property to hunt in SE ohio. I absolutely tip my hat to anyone who regularly bags a bird on Ohio public land. I tried several years with no birds.
That is a nice bird it surprises me about the first strike though i just have a cheap bushnell trophy red dot on my 870 and its held up for three years so far and thats all i shoot is 31/2 s and its still holding true.My 63 year old eyes doesnt work very well with rifled sights anymore.
The trophy scopes are known to be very rugged, hold up to heavy recoil and come with lifetime warranty. I just prefer the small reflex type red dot for my turkey gun. Although not as durable.
I called Bushnell when my 1st First Strike failed. The rep admitted some issues with earlier made First Strikes. Said they had improved and resolved it. For around $200 the Burris Fast Fire 3 gets great reviews. It costs a little more, but probably a better choice for heavy recoil.
Thanks for all the congrats on my bird
i looked at the burris 200$ was more than i wanted to spend on it if i remember right gander mountain had the trophy on sale for 85$ its all i need again congrats on the bird
