Cabela's guns are good guns for the money. I have the 12 ga. double barrel that I have used for squirrels, doves, ducks, pheasants. SO MUCH FUN!!! I have used my Thompson/Center New Englander with a 12 ga. barrel, purchased seperately from Fox Ridge Outfitters, to take wild turkey with.
Can't speak for the modern versions. I love the traditional guns!
