Home Forums Birds & Dogs Turkey Hunting Dedicated turkey gun pictures

I've progressed from the Browning 3 1/2" 10 Gauge Semi-Auto, to the Mossberg 835 3 1/2", to Benelli SBE 3 1/2", to Encore 12 Gauge Turkey 3", and finally to the 20 Gauge Encore Pro Hunter, Realtree Extra Green, with Aimpoint 9000s Red Dot, 3" HeviShot #5 or #6 shot size. This is the best Turkey set up to date... and my shoulder and retina's thank me every time I pull the trigger... Super dense patterns, light and manuverable, hits like the Hammer of Thor.

This thread is talking me into a 20ga. !

Youth 870 20 gauge:

Found it. This is the Limbsaver I used:

Don't think anybody else has represented the 16ga contingent so I'll show it some love. Several years ago I got to thinking about how the popularity of the 20ga had grown as a turkey gun. I got to thinking of the 16 as a turkey gun. I've always been a 16ga nut and had at least a half dozen in the safe at the time, but they were all long and flashy. I thought about it awhile and recalled that Remington had recently made a run of 870 Express youth guns in 16 with 23" barrels and matte finish. They had stopped making them at that point and it took me a few months to find one. I bought one, ordered full sized camo synthetic stocks for it and got a XX Full Comp-N-Choke tube for it. Chosen load was the Federal Premium 1 1/4 oz Magnum #6. Worked like a champ on this gobbler at about 35 yards. The next season I killed a young gobbler and a jake that threw his head into the pattern with one shot.

Terrific, SC.

I think ill try to track one down. Love the 16's. Can shoot all day with nary a bruise.

Do you have any model numbers on the replacement stocks? I really like the pattern.

Remington 1187 with 22" barrel got mount ordered for red dot and it will be ready to go

It was #18613, but it looks like they’ve changed the pattern now. I bought those in ’08.

Really liking the little 11-87! It may be my next year's project. I have 5 pounds of #8-1/2 TSS to play with this spring. Excited to give it a try.

I'm getting the "itch" for a couple new turkey guns after seeing all the great turkey getters posted!

Not really a dedicated turkey gun - but this Full choke Browning Auto-5 in 16GA will get the job done. This bird from April 2013 with the Federal Premium 1-1/4 oz buffered lead #6 load.

Looking forward to new turkey and turkey gun posts from this spring. My season isn't until mid May!!!

Two newest. 870 youths dipped in Bottomland. Fastfire on one, Weaver on the other.
