I get what you and many other people are saying. It's your personal experience and that has value. But in fairness, the OP only asked where he could find a 10 gauge. Cause he wants one. Judging by all of the posts on here about hunting with 10 gauge shotguns, apparently a few of you wanted one at one time also. For the OP, I checked Gunbroker.com and they have a few different used 10's for sale but they're pricey.

I think a 12 gauge is overkill for turkeys so what !

I still have my mossy 835 and shoot 3.5" out of it even though everyone said it kicks too much etc etc etc but I didn't care wanted the gun and love it !

Good luck finding your 10 gauge .

No. The extra weight makes them way more comfortable for me to shoot than a lighter 12 ga. with 3.5" shells. Several of my friends own 3.5" 12 ga shotguns but very few of them ever shoot the 3.5's anymore. And I really love the quality and finish of my BPS's. I have shot a few 12 ga 3.5's and they rattled my brain a little, dont have that problem with my 10's but I am sure the single shot 10's would be a whole different ball game

I hadn't ever considered that. I shoot a 3.5" 12 and know what you mean about recoil for them. I may have to look into those. And anything made by Browning always seems to be nicely made.

I have a single shot 10. I am not recoil sensitive. And I can tell you that it is not comfortable to shoot.

I've got a .458 win mag, a .338 win mag, several 12ga slug guns, and that 10ga will cross your eyes when you shoot it .

Like I said, it's a fun one to pull out at parties
