My turkey gun w/ pics
 

Ok I posted on here about trying to hunt turkeys this year. I'm a deer hunter and love to bow hunt but have never realy learned to turkey hunt. After seeing a bunch of turkey near where I hunt this year it has got me going. I have a turkey gun, a Remington 870 with 20 inch barrel, that I got from my father in law. He got it in a trade, its camoed and soots pretty good. I've still got to pattern it but I have shot it in the past. It wasn't abused and I have had it for 4 or 5 years but not done much with it...

Long story shorter Someone recomended Tru Glo sights. I went to Bass Pro today and picked some up while there.

And since I installed them I figured I'd post a pick of my turkey setup.

What do you all think.

What do I think? I think, and im sure i speak for quite a few people, that thats a pretty darn good looking gun.

RE: My turkey gun w/ pics
 

SWEET!!!!!! I have ordered 2 sets of those sight my 11-87 and my son's 870. I bought another type that was held on by the front bead but the bead on both of our guns are pressed in, so I returned them and ordered the style that's on your gun. Do you like them?

God Bless,

Nope i dont, but that sure sounds like a good idea!!:)

So far they seem nice. I like them alot better than the post and bead. I haven't shot them yet. But they realy seem to stand out if you have enough light. (Which isn't alot)
I had one of the Hi-Viz ones that screw in to the front but it didn't line up right and I didn't want to overtighten it and mess it up. When I went over and looked I saw the one that clips on the front before the bead. They looked ok but I like the fact that there is some adjustment with this one. Probably won't matter but what the heck.

Those are sweet. Thanks for posting. I like the pistol grips. I saw a few at Bass pro like that. I also saw the one Remington with a thumbhole stock. VERY nice. Mine is older but seems to be a fairly good setup. I've always wanted to get a turkey and when I had the opertunity for this gun I got it. I didn't give that much for it either.

I thought about scoping mine with a see through mount (like I have on my slig gun) but haven't felt like spending that much extra on it yet.

Do you like the scoped one better?

That's a nice gun Jason! You'll like those sights. I have the same ones and really like them.

RE: My turkey gun w/ pics
 

Good Choice!........Enjoy It....

RE: My turkey gun w/ pics
 

Looks nice Jason I think you'll be happy with those sites, they adjust really nice. I have them on my Ithaca, but added a red-dot after one season...

When you pattern that beast, I definitely recommend a short 5 to 10 yard shot to start, so you can get your sites adjusted...

Have fun.

Hey Jasonlester, I like my pistol grip guns alot, but I think im going to sell the one w/o the scope just because I love the scoped one so much better HAHA!!! I had to change the scope on it though. I had a nikon 2-7 prostaff, and i had no eye relief and kept getting wacked in the forhead with the scope. THose 3.5 magnums hurt after awhile. So there is a bushnell scope that has 6 inches of eye relief and that is the best scope ever. I cant believe I went from a nikon to a bushnell. Never thought I would see the day. HAHA!!

But I really do like your gun a lot. I had an old 870 that shot 3" shells, I had a scope on it, and wow that thing would do anything. I made a turkey do a back at 40 something yards. I was amazed. I just feel bad that I sold it, I wish i never did. Thats okay it will make some hunter a great gun someday.

Nice looking gun.
I put a set of those sites on my Nova last year they really helped.

RE: My turkey gun w/ pics
 

Nice set-ups fellers!!Ditto on the set-up here Rebel and Jason...;)

RE: My turkey gun w/ pics
 

sweet set ups.

RE: My turkey gun w/ pics
 

Thanks guys. I'm hoping it dries up a bit this week soI can get out and sight it in.

Then all I'll have to do is figure out how to get within range of a bird LOL

RE: My turkey gun w/ pics
 

I have the same gun except just my pump and stock are camo and the barrell is black and i have the sights and the gun is awesome shoots sweet good luck to ya on the birds

RE: My turkey gun w/ pics
 

Thats what my slug gun looks like. I love it too. Tack driver with slugs out at 125-150 yards. No problem.
I am a fan of the 870's I have to say.

RE: My turkey gun w/ pics
 

They look like some good turkey killers to me. I'm jealous. It's hard to find good guns in lefty w/out shelling out a fortune.[:@]

RE: My turkey gun w/ pics
 

What choke you got in that beast???

RE: My turkey gun w/ pics
 

I beleive its a Remington super full turkey. I actually have two of these. I assume they are the same. I bought one for my other Remington 870 and this one came with one. Not sure what the measurment is on it.

Think its an OK choke. I'm hoping to get out and pattern this weekend.
