Home Forums Birds & Dogs Turkey Hunting 20ga. Turkey gun suggestions.

You ever hear the saying mOnkey see monkey do ?

If you didn't lead such a sheltered life you'd realize there are a lot of dumb azz people in this world and a lot of them think they are turkey men.

2 inches is a lot when it comes to turkey guns....2 inches is a lot when it comes to lots of things.

A buddy of mine just posted this. There are 22" barrels for this out there too, they're just pretty hard to find right now...

I've killed even more with 28" barreled guns. The turkeys never seemed to mind and neither did I.

Steve already sold it...

Both of these suggested guns would make a fine turkey gun.

The 20 ga affinitys can be pretty finicky with target loads, but you shouldnt have any issues with turkey loads. My sons affinity shoots straight, unlike my benelli m1 20 that I had to get quite creative with the cast and drop shims to get it to shoot straight. But I've had that issue with every benelli I've owned. My youngest shoots a 1187 compact 20.

I agree, I shoot a xtrema 2 with 26in barrel. I guess with that magnum length receiver you can consider it a 28in gun. I certainly wouldnt want it any longer, except for maybe in a duck blind, but I've lost count how many turkeys I've killed with it.

One of the best patterns I’ve ever seen any gun throw for hunting was out of a browning bps youth with the short barrel in 20 gauge.

My brother has one that will do a 40 yard 300 pellets of #9 tss in the 10” and 300 in the 20” circle. It shoot POA for center of the pattern.

This was with 2 1/8 oz of 9’s, so you better hold onto your hat when you fire it, but it was definitely a shooter.

Picked up a Stevens 301 for my daughter and still looking for something for me. Those Winchester shotguns feel good but still can't find a sxp 20 ga. turkey gun.

Buddy of mine had a SXP 20 and his shot really good groups with TSS, I think he sold it but not sure, I will ask him.

Are fAiry dust swarms now called groups ?

They are called what ever you want to call them, groups, patterns, swarms, etc.
One thing is for sure, I don't have to run the birds down and beat them in the head with a fence post after they are shot.

I've heard about several TSS chases where the gobbler escaped.

I got him that's all that matters...lol

the stevens 301 is made in China

The H&R Topper / NEF Pardner is made in the USA.

No one could say China like Donald Trump....

Cccchhhhiiiiiinnnnnnaaaaa

Ps....YoderbOy has me on ignore he got mad when I questioned him about him getting "paid for two decages by the turkey hunting and choke tube industry".

Thats okay though after he acted the azz with me I'll just keep asking him until he tells.

I knew they were made in China. Still nice guns for the money.

The H&Rs WERE made in the USA. Too bad they stopped making them. I always intended to buy one and they went under before I ever did.

I have seen them on the rack at the gun stores but never picked one up. Do they have screw in chokes?

I can't understand the single shot mentality.
