Default RE: 10 gauge

Venisonman i have a story for ya. About 7 years ago i bought my first turkey gun a NEF 10ga. My friend had a 835 Ultra Mag, he sent this gun off to a well known gun smith that did custom choke sleeves. Anyhow when he got the gun back after spending $150.00 all he did was ramp and rave about how great his gun shot and that my NEF 10ga was a poor mans turkey gun. Well i was going to go pattern my poor mans turkey gun and my buddy couldn't wait to go pattern his gun with me and show me up. We sat a 2ft by 4ft box up at 40 yards with a Primos turkey target on it. Naturally he had to shot first and his gun did ok at 40 yards i think he got like 10 or 12 hits in the vitals. Now it is my turn and i shoot well my pattern nocked the box over. We walked up to the target and i had like 15 to 18 hits in the vitals and ne never called my gun a poor mans turkey gun again. I like my NEF 10ga and take it with me every year. I have bought a few more turkey gun since then but my 10ga can hold it own against any gun.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
