Just saw these. 28 gauge 870 Wingmaster 25" vent rib + choketubes. Looks like a really sweet rig. Anybody run one of these?

Yes. A friend bought one last year. They deff ain't the same quality as the old wingmasters and I wouldn't pay what they go for. He had to send his back 3 times. It wouldn't chamber shells.

Do you shoot turkeys with it?

I just bought it last summer. I have not killed a turkey with it yet, I did carry it a few times this year. I was getting 120-130 in the 10" with tss 8's ,that was before I got some 9.5's. I have not tested the 9.5's yet. Everytime there was a threat of rain I carried the 12ga with synthetic stock and naturally those were the times I killed birds. If didn't know better I would think the 28ga was turkey repellent. I wanted to shoot one with it so badly.

Are these new ones built on the small frame reciever like the old ones were?

They are new. Can't comment on frame size.

I have one. I missed a bird with it in Texas this year (pretty sure my pattern was deflected by a small cedar limb).

I need to spend more time on the range with it this summer to get a better idea of the pattern. It has the typical rust that the Remington's have. It has a 25" barrel and a factory fixed modified choke.
