Savage 301 shotgun

[ripnlip]

I was considering buying a Savage 20 gauge 301 single shot shotgun for spring gobbler. And mount a red dot scope on it. Going to shoot TSS loads. Anyone have any opinion on the 301 shotgun or their favorite TSS shot size to pair with the 301? 

 

I currently use a Mossberg 835 3 1/2" with an illuminated "T" scope. It's a turkey killer & not much heavier than the 301. But, well you know. Latest & greatest...

 

Thanks.

I bought one in 410 for my daughter.  She shot a gobbler at 30 yards tss 3" #9s.  It's a great little gun!

Thanks! I've seen reviews & videos. It's incredible the pattern even with the stock choke Savage provides with the gun.

 I have the 410 for light packability and versatility on state land. I got a patternmaster code black choke and I have several shot sizes that I will be trying soon. I will report back on the results soon! Watch the Blue Collar Outdoors boys on Youtube, they are an incredible resource.

I shoot the 7-9federal TSS blend out of a 20 with a nikon turkey plex scope. Light to carry and deadly to 50.

With the advent of TSS, this is now the dumbest law in existence.

I have to believe that states will adress this soon
