Black powder shotguns.
 
Does anyone own one? I contacted CVA and asked if they make a single barrel. They said they might make one again next year. Who else makes a single besides Knight? I'm not to big on their gun. I will use mine on everything from grouse and pheasant, to ducks, geese and one day, turkey.

It depends on if you want an inline or a traditional. I believe that White Rifles still makes an inline 12 gauge shotgun. I have a .62 caliber smoothbore which is a 20 gauge. It is a Green Mountian Barrel which I put on my T/C Renegade. It can be loaded to hunt anything from squirrels to whitetail depending on how it is loaded.

One other option is to get a smoothbore musket like a Brown Bess. It is a .75 caliber and can be loaded with shot or ball....

Pharaoh2, I own a Knight TK2000. I haven't killed anything with it, but looking foward too killing a turkey next spring. I patterened it, and I'm ready to go. Hope that helps your decision...

PS: The TK2000 has a greenmountain barrel. One of the best barrels available!

I have a CVA 12 ga. double and love it.it started as my wife's deer gun,then I got her a rifle and took the shotgun for turky's.
it is a great turkey gun for 25 yards.not to mention the thrill.
you have an extra shot with the double.you just have to work up a good load to get the best pattern.

Good Luck!
