2007 I have a Model 37 Ithica that patterns turkey shot nice at 30 yds. I kept hearing on here how well the 870 Remington 3 1/2 inch magnum does at 40 yds...so I bought one ...not one shot hit a 2 inch circle at 40,
sorry chuck i gotta laugh on that one, do you know who "ben Lee" was.
this is a picture of the late Ben lee with his daughter..
he was on of the most famous and respected turkey hunters around, i went to a seminar he was giving, and a guy asked ifhe needed to buy a new 3.5" turkey gun or even a 10 ga. well ben just scratched the back of his neck and ask the guy "how long have you been turkey huntin???" guy says a couple of years, Ben told him that he had killed more turkeys with a 12 ga. in 2 3/4" chamber with #6 shot than most people will ever see in their lives, he asked the guy "what are you shooting now???" guy says"remington 1100 3" chamber,"Ben just told him, "if you want the gun, go get it, do you need it??? nope"
next question
most times for me anyway, my wants is bigger than my needs[:-]
human nature i guess
