Default RE: 20 Gauge for turkey

I'm in the market for a 20ga for rabbit hunting and for turkey hunting. Doing you homework bypatterning it correctly, you can make any20ga into a real nice turkey thumper.I went to a turkey seminar last year that Chris Parish hosted. He said that all he used for turkey hunting anymore is a Benelli 20ga with Nitro turkey loads. He added it shoots just as nice if not better, less recoil and much lighter to carry around than a 12gawith all the hunting he does.

I think as long as it has a change-able choke system in it and you take the time to patterning it witha lot of different loads,you'll be just fine with a 20ga. Just so you know, shooting 2ounces of shot versus1 1/4ouncesdoesn’talways mean its better when it comes to turkey hunting.Each gun likes different loads and that why you need to try just about everything out there to see what your gun likes. Good luck and hope you find the right turkey gun for you
