I have one of these in plain black. It works great!

Not bad for a Turknelli.

Ah I just order this model but in tungsten cerakote. I take like the burnt bronze but bass pro didn't have the image up. How does it run for you guys?

Mine won’t run low brass birdshot very well. Even the high velocity stuff.

Did you follow break guidelines? I hear these guns can be hit or miss... I plan on doing a thorough clean and heavy lead shot that I have kicking around.

No. To be honest I tried my preferred birdshot loads. It didn’t work, so I put it away and ordered a Benelli M2 SP.

I’m pretty sure I could get it to run with some effort.

That seems like an expensive mishap but I totally get it, did the same with a savage 308 to tikka, when the savage didnt hold up to its talk.

What type of ammo were you running with that caused the issues, how often? I want to use 2 3/4 number 6 for grouse and 3 inch 4 shot for ducks.

Remember: break in your inertia-driven shotgun with a box of shotgun slugs!

can confirm: 5 slugs later and my M3000 works very well!
