I've been using this gun for 15 years for deer and all I can say is I'm impressed. My brother has a 500 with a rifled barrel and it can barely hold paper at 50 yds. The 695 can hold a cloverleaf at 75 (max i could sight at the moment) with the same xp3 winchesters. Its older, discontinued and maybe forgotten but its a pretty solid setup for slug hunters. Do I have a unicorn or does anyone else have one and experience the same performance?
