While wanting to use my M4 for turkey this Spring, I was not sure it was capable of the range/pattern needed with the short barrel. Had a ported Comp-N-Choke XXXFull installed and used 3" Fiochhi, Remington and Federal 4 & 5 turkey loads with dismal results, so decided to take it to Rob Roberts at Gobble Guns. Rob lengthened the forcing cone and took it to his pattern testing fixture. Using 1 3/4oz Hevi-Shot 13 #6's, it smoked the 10" circle with 230 pellets at 40 yards. Rob swapped to one of his non ported Final Strut chokes and it gained an additional 30 pellets.
I pick it up tomorrow morning and will be dropping off a new 20ga for modification.
I'm a Happy!!
Consider having your Nova tweaked to it's potential by someone that does the Performance Shop turkey gun mods for Benelli...it will be well worth the money.
