Home Forums Birds & Dogs Turkey Hunting Wonder how many they sell?!

The 835 I bought was an early one. Clunky piece of chit that felt like a 4x4 deckpost in the hands. Wouldn't pattern for crap. Sold it a week and a half later at a profit.

Not much of a Nova fan.........just a clunky Italian Mossberg.......but they DO seem to be the most consistently tight patterning pump gun going. I still ain't buying one.

I did break down and try some of the Apex TSS shells ; $60 for 5! But, I must say, they knocked this old bird off his feet like he had been hit with a baseball bat at 40yds Thursday. number 2 this year with these 7.5/9 shot loads. Though; that's a $500 Ithaca Turkeyslayer Storm leaning against the tree.

12 bucks a pop . Yikes. I guess in the grand scheme of things it is cheap insurance

Nice Cruiser1, congrats! I've found that ammo is usually the cheapest part of any hunt and have no problem buying/using premium ammo or components.

Is that a Cubs hat you're wearing?!

Not a Cub's hat; not much of a baseball fan. Maybe because I played so much as a kid. My team wears Crimson; in fact I usually ley our a big "ROLL TIDE" after the shot

You got to have titanium extended and ported choke tubes, and 12 ga 3.5” multi size tungsten shot at 1500 FPS, so you damn sure need a $3400 Benelli semi auto to get the job done on a 30 yard turkey shot.
