ran across this shotgun
was curious if anyone has used this or heard of anyone using this.http://www.ableammo.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=9935_13769_13869&produc ts_id=94588
it looks like an inexpensive way to get into turkey hunting.

Sure, it'll work, butbe aware of one thing: When it comes to hunting, the turkey load ranks right up there with the most aggressive cartridges there are.IMO, a single shot will most likely make for a rather disappointing experience for you. Sure, it's a very economical way to start but sometimes the cheapest way isn't the best way. If you get it just make sure you put on a really good recoil pad because if you're going to shoot those 3" or 3.5" shells it's going to knock your fillings out.

I like the H&R, have one for the kids, but recoil is an issue. The specs on the Rossi show 7.25 lbs. which is much heavier than the H&R. Still likely a beast with magnum type loads, but not impossible to handle.

RE: ran across this shotgun
I had a Rem Express with a 26" barrel with a Rem super full turkey choke that threw good patterns at 40-45 yards
I also have a NEF 10ga that throws good patterns out to 40 yards... If I had to pic one it would prob be the express
