RE: What gun do you use and why?
I've got an old Remington 870 Express that is currently my only shotgun. I use it with its original 28" barrel with a ported remington turkey choke tube. It makes for a long and heavy gun but it works. I wanted to put on a sims recoil pad, but at the time they only made them for synthetic stocks, and I happened to find a Remington camo stock marked down at wally world for $13. I use a scope too. This year I might use a Mossberg 835. I'm looking to buy it from a friend who just got himself a Beneli.

i shoot a benelli nova 3.5 with a pure gold choke tube and rem hevi#5 in the early part of the season before the green-up and when i travel. then i change to a rem870 20ga with 3in nitros after the green-up for close range shots.

ORIGINAL: r33h ORIGINAL: superstrutter ORIGINAL: r33h I am currently using a remington 870 SPS-T with thumbhole and I absolutely love it! The gun is so comfortable in the hands and it allows me the flexibility to shoot 3.5" shells. I use to have a Mossberg 835 ulti-mag that shot 3.5" shells, but I definitely like the Remington much better. Mossberg also has a thumbhole model shotgun in the 835 and if you like Mossberg guns, then I would look at one of those at your local sporting goods store. Of the two that I have mentioned, I prefer the Rem more. There must a reason why it is the most popular selling shotgun:)... |

Your correct r33h, our turkey killing machines have 23" barrels. I knew that. I don't know where I got 24 inches from.

RE: What gun do you use and why?
ORIGINAL: Arrowmaster I hunt with a Mossberg 500. Why I hunt with it is because It has the best pattern of any gun I have shot. I have an entended factory Turkey choke. I use Federal 3" magnum 2 oz load 5 shot. These pattern the best out of my gun and its deadly out to 50 yards. Max is 70 yards. I dont feel comfortable taking over a 50 yard shot. But not saying I wouldnt. Its an awesome shooting gun. I havent seen one out perform it... Just me but I think 70 yards is to far to be shooting turkeys with any load... Especialy a 2oz copper plated load!!! |

RE: What gun do you use and why?
I've killed one gobbler past 50 yards... I was using a 3.5" mag with #4's (2oz of #4's going 1300fps)
I've patterned a lot of turkey guns and I've seen quite a few being patterned and a gun that will pattern out to 50 yards is not very common... Let alone 70 yards;) |
