Home Forums Birds & Dogs Turkey Hunting New turkey gun

The recoil reducing technology in the Benelli stock sure doesn't do much to absord the recoil. The cheek cushion and the recoil pad are very hard.

Unless you have a Mercury reducer in the stock a Benelli has no recoil reducing technology in the stock.

Best thing for a Benelli is a Limb Saver recoil pad.

I've been shooting a Mobile choke barrel for years in my SBE....you have to get the right choke tube in it to make it perform.

I've been shooting Patternmaster Code Black chokes out of mine for the last several years.

They're not cheap buy they're not cheaply made or made in China.

PatternMaster is good stuff!

I bought some extended Carlsons for my Super Nova but haven't patterned them yet.

I also got some Tru Glo steel fiber optic rib sights but now that I have then I'm having second thoughts about putting them on.

I've never shot a Carlson....don't expect I ever will.

Never fooled with Indian Creek because the design looks weak/fragile to me with those long thin slits (years back some split...one guy shot one out of his barrel and ruined his barrel...that could be operator error the slits breaking/cracking were likely not)

These are the turkey chokes I've shot and I've killed turkeys with most of them...Hastings, Colonial, Sumtoy. Rhino, Comp n choke, Balistic Specialties had a set of 6 Kicks Gobbling Thunder tubes I shot one of them for a time. A custom choke bt Tom Choke of Lousiana and a Bansner for about a New York minute.

Then I bought a Patternmaster Code Black Goose tube to duck hunt with and then tried it with a turkey load....it's a solid 50+ yard choke in my gun with a Winchester 3", 1&3/4 oz or a 2oz. 3.5" #4 Longbeard.

Then I bought a Patternmaster Code Black Turkey it's a solid 60+ yard choke in my SBE with a 2oz #4 Longbeard.

I some times change chokes the Goose tube is a little more forgiving in the woods....if I had to make a choice I'd use the Patternmaster Code Black Goose tube in the woods and the
Code Black Turkey tube hunting big crop fields.

My buddy is sending me a .650 Jebs to try.

Unlike yoder409 I've never been "paid by the hunting and choke tube industry for over twO decades"....

What the hell could eYe know.

I recall.you saying the Nova shot high that sometimes is caused by the choking.

Could be.

I want to pattern it before deciding on the sights. I got them thinking I could use them to lower the pattern on the Super Nova, or raise it a bit on my Ithaca. I may opt to leave them off. I have similar sights on my SX4 and may take those off, too.

I have used several different brands of chokes as well. One thing I have found is that "choke A" may have one point of impact, unscrew it and screw in 'choke B" and it will have a completely different point of impact. Same shell, same everything except the choke

I bought a Mossberg 835 first year they came out....the sporting goods store where I bought it had a range behind the store.

I don't recall the exact shot size that did what...the first shells I shot hit bad right or left.

I went inside and told Greg Mckenny the owner of the store that he had sold me a piece of junk and that the Mossberg was shooting way off to one side....He said "try another shotsize that sometimes straightens them up"....I figured it was a lost cause and he was full of it.

Websters Sporting goods patterned shotguns for a lot of the local guys and had a lot of experience patterning a lot of different turkey guns.

Guess what Greg was right....straightened the Mossberg 835 right up.....but I thought it was a piece of junk before I bought it and after I sold it.

I looked at an old Winchester catalog and that seems like a nice setup.

Tell us how you like the cantilever mounts and how the whole gun performs.

Dean did you shoot that new turkey duster yet ?

Supposed to be at my FFL today...

I'm going to shoot mine again today....long story I swapped scopes around..

I might be shell shocked after 6 or 8 more shots.

Awaiting a full range report.

Answer the riddle yoddlerbOy

This is more like shooting the 20 ga

I'm hoping to not get anymore tracking "updates"! Every time I get one, it's pushed back a day! Lol!

FedEx ??

What do you call a guy that claims he's been paid by the turkey hunting and choke tube industry for over twO decades...yet refuses to tall whO he worked for ?

I call him full of chit YoderbOy
