Pardner Turkey Gun?

[buckmaster]

Im thinking, if im going to get into the whole turkey hunting thing that I'm slowly being sucked in by.And i really wanted to take one with a bow, but underestimated the turkey, so I might consider a shotgun for the purpose... I looked at a Field version of the one listed below... it was $250. So i figure to see this in the same neighborhood. Anybody use one of these. I know NEF make some good guns at great prices, My first gun that i still have is a pardner single shot 20 gauge. I love that little gun. Any experience with these guys? Thanks.

I use the same gun but without a full dip. It has a 22 inch barrel and I got a .640 hastings choke in it. I shoot #6 3 inch winchester supremes with it. I can kill one out to 50 yards easy. I love it for the price. paid $239 for it. Shoots just as good as the big name turkey guns.

Sounds like a winner... go get em.

Never shot that gun, but my main turkey gun used to be a New England single shot and it never missed. NEF makes great guns and this gun should be no exception.

Im not sure of the concept behind the choke you mentioned... I know improved, mod, full, x full, but what is a .640? Is that smaller than the Extra full that comes with the gun?

[kdsberman]

.640 is the constriction. The smaller that number, the tighter the choke i believe.

yup

Never heard of the Pardner. For a few dollars more or maybe even around the same price, you can pick up a Remington 870 Express or a Mossberg 835. You can't go wrong with either of those two guns. Maybe the Pardner is a great gun, but it certainly isn't as popular as the other two.

NEF makes a good gun never heard anyone say anything bad about them
