BPS 10 gauge has been my favorite, it kicks less than an 835 and absolutely lays out gobblers.

Mine is all peices parts right now.
Still contemplating whether to camo the butt stock and forearm.
Get all the metal graphite black cerracoated.

Or just VHD caliper paint the stock set satin black and cook it at 200° for 60 mins and get the metal done graphite black.

Or VHD the metal minus the mag tube and pump/ action bars.
Have ta make a cardboard and alum foil cooking oven for the metal parts.
Rig up a electric space heater for heat and get a inexpensive temp gauge.

Wont fit in the oven like the stock set.

Tip....

When cooking gun parts with VHD caliper paint in the ole lady's oven.
Always cook a pizza in it afterwards to hide any slight residue of smell before she gets home from work.

LOL!!!

I have a Remington 11-87 camo 3 1/2" Shurshot stock with an EO Tech on it and just inherited from my father a camo 3 1/2" Browning Gold with Bushnell scope. I've killed turkeys over 50 yards with both these guns using 3 1/2" Mag Blend. I kill most of my turkeys in cut cornfields, ain't nothing in the way.

You gonna wear a Santa suit like Gerry? LOL! Evidently he was quite a character, superb predator caller.


Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

My favorite, remington 870 20ga. Light, fits me like a globe, and hits where I point it.

But when it comes down to business Benelli M2, 24”, 12ga.

I probably would like that better for straight up turkey hunting. But I'll take the M2 for grouse if it's going to be wet in the woods. The 870 has a wood stock.

I had a Winchester Super X2 with a 24" barrel too. I liked that gun a lot. I traded that off for something or other back when I was young and traded guns like I changed socks. I try not to trade anything off anymore.

I've thought about setting up a Rem 870 youth 20ga for a dedicated turkey gun too. I probably would if I could find the right one used.

Changed my mind numerous times on what to do.

Well after 47( lol) tries at spray painting the stock and getting the receiver and barrel graphite black cerracoated.

I came up with the whack a mole toothbrush camo technique.
Posted up buncha pics on the gen forum from it all.

Lots of trial and error spray painting a syn stock for my 1st 3 attempts.

Before :

After:

Overcast .
It shifts colors and tones and high lights in different light conditions.
Pretty happy with the Toothbrush whack a mole camo technique.

Probably how I will do it again if needed.
This season will be a test run on just how durable it is.

Why did you change it? I like what you did. But, it actually looked pretty good before.

In the brush and sun .
That old camo stock was really super pale in some light conditions.

Think it might cost me 2 birds last year that didnt commit.
JMO.

Plus the receiver had ring marks all over it from the guy slumlord bought it from years ago.
Had some rusty areas on the barrel
Some worn areas on the rib.
Ect ect ect.


Just basically wanted to give it a make over/ fresh look of my own.
And have never done the rattle can spray paint thing before.

Probably stick to the whack a mole tooth brush camo technique when I have to redo it again.
Just came to me outta the blue looking at vids and pics of various techniques.

Base was olive green.
Then whack a mole colors
Satin brown ( not alot)
Flat black
Od green ( not alot)
And od green satin brown mix.( little bit)

With 4 or 5 shots of matte clear over it.


Easy to do
Looks good to my eye.

Way better than my webbing attempts and 60,s flower pots salvage efforts.

LOL!!!

It looks good to me.

Your pale comment makes me rethink my tape color choice.


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