What he said! My 835 with 21/4 lead from a bench is worse than a 458 in a 9 lb model 70 or a 375 in a rem 700 classic. Love my lite gold 10 - turkey or geese its a killer on only one end - not mine!!

I had a Benelli Nova that I fired ONE 3 1/2" - 2 1/4oz turkey shell. ONE! Thought I loosened every tooth in my head! LOL! Sold it as soon as I got home from that trip!

My current favorite, a Winchester Model 1300 Waterfowl (12GA, 3") with 22" barrel, .670 PureGold choketube, and Williams Firesights. Gift from my Dad years ago; I like the aluminum receiver for carrying all day.

Spring 2015:

My former favorite, a Browning BPS 12GA, 3" that I sold to a buddy (that's him with his Tom last spring). Nice shotgun but the steel receiver made this shotgun pretty heavy by the end of the day.

Benelli m2, 21" barrel, aimpoint 9000sc, and on that hunt it was an Indian creek choke shooting old black hulled Hevi shot #5s.

I've got about 10 different turkey chokes for it, and have killed birds with longbeard 4s, 5s, Winchester HDXR elite 6s, hevi13 7s, and Winchester supreme 4s the last couple years. I love shooting and tinkering way too much. I'm always looking for that "little bit better". It's a sickness!

Oh, and believe it or not, deer bite. Fairly hard.

keep the pictures coming...
You're motivating me to finally paint my old 28 inch barrel browning BPS or break down and buy a dedicated turkey gun.

Looking at the remington 870 turkey predator with a short 20 inch barrel and better camo finish.

After looking at your pictures.... I should be looking at something more upscale

Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

Here is an original Mossberg 535 Turkey package shotgun (12 GA 3-1/2") that I used to own - killed several turkey's with it, this one was in Spring 2009. This was a nice, light shotgun to carry.

My current gun started life as a Remington 870 Youth 20ga. I stripped the gun completely down, took the receiver to a smith to drill/tap/attach rail, polished/deep cleaned barrel, replaced forearm with a synthetic from Remington, installed an adjustable Knoxx stock with a Limbsaver, and a Burris FFII sits on top with a custom made guard. I sanded it down, primed, and painted it with multiple stencils and lots of time. I hand load 1 5/8oz of TSS #9.5s. It will flat stomp turkeys. Killed a slam with it last year. Plan on trying a 28ga this year.

That's awesome! Do you recall the Limbsaver part number? I'd like to get one for mine. The stock is the 20 ga. models correct? Not a modified 12 ga.

Rem 870 supermag, 23" barrel, Sumtoy .665 choke. I shoot 3.5" Hevi Magblends through it and it's absolutely deadly.

Thanks. Correct on that being the Knoxx made specifically for the 20ga before they discontinued them. Let me go back thru some old posts and see if I can find the part number.

BPS 10 gauge. Used to hunt geese with it too, but now just turkeys.

I've even toned down the turkey hunting with it, shooting toms with my 20 gauge pretty effectively, but the 'ol 10 gauge straight up puts them down...
