I think wilds turkey taste much better than domestic ones myself. Rifles are just a pipe with a cartridge in one end and a hunk of lead coming out the other. One will kill game just as good as another. Wild Turkey is a good bourbon as well

I live a blessed life and am not envious of others wealth and possessions. You should try to work harder and rise above your circumstances. I have already worked harder than most would in 5 lifetimes. I am working full time at a trade I always wanted to work in and am trained for. My home looks like a Cabela's exploded inside it. Every room full of guns, ammunition, optics, cutlery, calls, hunting clothing, antlers, fishing tackle, game and fish mounts, wildlife art and hunting/fishing antiques and collectibles. And above all I'm blessed with a wife that not only tolerates my hobbies and home decorating habits but actually participates in, enjoys and encourages them. Seems to me my "circumstances" are better than most and I am not jealous of those who buy and use over priced turkey guns and think those nasty feathered rats worth the expenditure.

Benelli = Italian Mossberg.

Yikes... $3400.
However if you do a multi-state spring tour and turkey hunting is your passion... go for it. Its your middle aged harley or convertable.
I went through my shotguns and found a price to performance gap and my mossberg 500A with its stiff trigger, finicky ejecting, and required optic to shoot straight went down the road. My franchi affinity will serve turkey duty until I get weak and buy a special shotgun. The light trigger, good pattern where aims, optic ready, and reliable function are worth the money.
As far as expensive guns I want... A browning citori cynergry in camo and turkey sights is calling to me, but I cant justify it hunting in one state only. I'm contemplating buying a mossberg Maverick O/U for $402 new online as a dedicated turkey gun, but fear it will have a terrible trigger or poor regulation...
I need to quit buying shotguns and love the one you're with.

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

hmmm... I bought a 835 once too and sold it.
It was due to my impulsive habits more than a performance issue!

I've had a couple different 835's. Can possibly explain the first one, not so much the subsequent ones! Lol! 835's and the Benelli Nova, just can't warm up to them. I know plenty of people use them, and like them, but they're just not for me.

I know plenty of people use them, and like them, but they're just not for me. The 835 was lightly used by the previous owner, didn't feel right, pretty sure it was a very solid shotgun. I went the Nova Route as well ,It didn't last long .
