I would think this would get it done!

Have at 'er !!!

You wouldn't carry that thing around very long til you decided to cut about foot off the barrel and have it threaded for tubes. Then you'd realize you're taking WAY too much whoopin' on the back end of it for all the more effective it is at distance than your 20 gauge.

I have a tricked out Browning BPS 10 gauge here that.........between turkeys and geese.......has filled a couple or three pickups with big, dead birds. Some coyotes along the way, too. With steel shot or coarse lead shot, it's unbeatable. But in the turkey woods, it's just more than I eventually wanted to lug around. An it freakin' HURTS with turkey loads.

I'd like to see that 36" H&R on paper at 60 yards with those shells in his ad. Bet it's not as wicked as he thinks.

And $485 ?????? Really ????

I have had several SP10's over the years. I would rather shoot one of those that a 3.5" 12 ga, but would not want to carry the dang things. I used my for duck and goose hunting, never turkey hunted with one.

True story, years ago, I was working part time at a gun store and this little old lady (picture Granny Clampett only not as spry) came in to buy here husband a birthday present. She tells me that she buys him a gun every year for his birthday and starts looking at what we had. She picks out a single shot 10 ga for him. As I am carrying the gun up to the counter for her, she looks straight at me and says, "I bet that will kick his dick in the dirt".!!! I will never forget that.

First thing I thought of, when I saw this ad, was toting that thing around! Lol!

Went with a lightweight last season-model 42 skeet and Super -X 7.5 lead, 15 yards.

Very nice JimH!

Have a BPS 10 myself. Bought it strictly for turkey when I was younger, stronger, and healed faster. Now it gives me a headache first shot with 2 1/4 oz loads. Last time I shot it was 5 years or so ago. 22 lb at 46 steps. Sort of a goodbye hunt because I’ll probably never shoot it again.

After over a decade with the same scope, I finally put a new optic on my Mossberg 500.

Last week, I sprayed it with Krylon to match the job on the shotgun.



I got that Mossy out of the scratch-n-dent bin at Dick's back in 1996. The new scope is a Bushnell Banner 1.5-4.5X32mm.

It has a ported barrel and a Carlson's Dead Coyote choke tube. I shoot Federal 3 Inch #4 2OZ loads.

IMO the Benelli Steady Grip guns are the best pure turkey gun you can buy. I have a SBE, M1 Super 90 and a Super Nova, all steady grip models and I run FF3's on them all. Have a bunch of others from 410 to 10 gauge but when I go somewhere out of town to chase them I always grab one of my Benelli's. They are just plain bullet proof and pattern great. All three where Indian Creek .665 chokes and I either use Apex 3.5" 2.5oz loads or 3" Apex 2.25oz or handloads.

Noooooiiiiice!

What optic, Bushnell trs25?

Sure looks like it. Yep.

That last gobbler with the BPS 10. And the last time I’ve fired it. April 2015. 46 steps. Ashe Co, NC mountain bird.

Very fitting way for a gun to go into retirement. Yep.

Any shotgun in inventory is a good turkey getter.

Absolutely hikerbum! But it's fun to mess around with this stuff, at least for me it is. If we only got what we needed, Yugo's would still be around! Lol!

Nice to end on a high note.

I can only imagine what a 2.50oz. load of fAiry dust will do to the meat on a turkey.

When Benelli came out with the steady grip I couldn't wait to check one out....felt good looked cool.

Only draw back I noticed was there was no real quiet way of taking the safety off...no way to slip your hand forward and get the safety between your thumb and finger and silently get the safety off without a lot of movement....on a turkey gun that was a deal killer for me.
