I just purchased this mossy from a coworker. He won it at a clay shoot about 15yrs ago...it’s never been fired. I’ll be shooting longbeard XRs and have ordered the matching Carlson’s .660 choke to go with it.

A Browning A-5 that was given to me by a dear friend. It was built in 1929 and has a 30 inch full choke barrel. High brass #6's will be the likely load.

Also had Bellm do a trigger job, 2lb 4oz. SWEET!

Looks like I'll have more time to hunt this season. After I shoot one with my Browning Gold, I'll try to shoot another with this Benelli M-2, been three years since I used this shotgun on a Gobbler. No special sites on this one (my waterfowl shotgun) but it does have a Pure Gold .670 turkey tube for the Hevi-Shot.

Lots of nice guns in this thread. I was going to use my SXS 20, but I think I’ll use my predator shotgun which is the Franchi Affinity in Bottomland. Was getting really nice 40yard patterns with Winchester DoubleX 4s through my Carlsons coyote tube. I should also add that this will be my first year going after turkeys. I’ve hunted with buddies as an observer, I shot one my uncle called in for me as a kid. But that’s it. First time ever trying it on my own. Never really caught the bug or had the desire to go until now.

My typical typical turkey gun is a Stoeger M2000 12 gauge. It’s factory turkey choke is bad azz. Every few seasons I break out Grandpa’s Old Mossberg 500, with the Underaker choke. I shoot Wincheser 3” #5s in both.

My son is using my BPS 410 with TSS and a Jebbs choke. He’s a lefty and likes to shoot my BPS’s. His first Tom was with my BPS 20ga, second was with my BPS 10ga, and now his bucket list is to get a Tom with each gauge. I have the 12ga and 28ga, just need a 16ga to finish off the list. My daughter will be using her SX4 20ga and a Jebbs choke. She loves the gun and shoots it well. We were at the range again this afternoon to take the final practice shots before this weekend. Good luck and be safe to all going out youth hunting!

Eight days to go until the first Saturday for me. Either the 20 ga. Montefeltro or the SBE II. Most likely the 20 ga.
