All my tens gauges are great, nitro loads, 3 ounces, #4 or 4,5,7, rhino choke tubes, if i had to pick my favorite is my old Ithaca 10  auto. its rare  i used a second shot , but when the fast second shot sealed the deal. over 200 kills with Ithaca 10,  all these guns pattern tight with nitro loads, 320 to 340 pellits in 10 inch circle, sometime too tight a pattern.  For long walks  thomson center 20 gauge 3 inch #4 , would never think or though i would use a 20 gauge, but i get 120 pellits in a 10 inch circle at 40 yards. I am a big ten gauge fan. you are not shooting blue jays, this is the toughest bird out there, you need the best gun best shot. LOts of practice,  the bird diserves it. the best you have,   eastern assassin  439 kills all documented,,  gun used, shot used, day, time, weather, calls used to call bird, size of bird , weight, beard lenght, spur lenght. pictures,distance to bird, 10 states hunted, 38 years,     turkey thugs who...... eastern assassin,

I think an original bottomland SP 10 would be great to have...new in the box old stock since I'm dreaming.   I currently have a BPS 10, Mossy Oak Break Up, 24" factory barrel, Tru Glo Pro Series Gobble Dot sights, Jellyhead.

My dream 10 is one I already own almost. It's an SP-10, the almost is about figuring a way to put wheels on it

SP-10 Fan

I'm shooting it now.  It's a modified SP-10 that I shoot two different shells out of.  If I'm pressed for time I shoot a Nitro with 2.5 oz of #4 Heavy Shot.  If I'm not pressed for time I load 2.5 oz of TSS, usually in #6.  I know, I know, I'm defeating the purpose by not shooting 2.5 oz of #8 or #9 TSS...I'm just more comfortable using the TSS #6's...and the range...well, it's impressive.

My realistic 10 is my current BPS, got it as a graduation present in '93 and have killed a gob of toms since whether running Remington #4's through a standard full or the old Winny Supreme 2 1/4 oz. #5's through a Hastings .695, those Winchesters threw a super nasty pattern. Current load/choke is a Comp-n-Choke XX Full with Remington Premier or Nitro Mag #4's, getting low on the Nitro Mags though so older Federal Premiums are on deck.

Now to dream a bit I would love a well regulated SxS, dipped in Obsession, Full in one pipe and extra full in the other, if both would shoot those Remington Premier 4's I would be happy or give me some of those 2 1/4 oz. 5's and I would be equally happy.

A happy medium which I intend to do someday is dip my BPS in Bottomland or Obsession and get a saddle mount with an optic of some sort.

I lust after an SP-10 with a thumbhole stock, a Leupold 1-4X NWTF scope with Turkey-plex reticle & a Rhino choke set up to shoot Nitro Hevi-Shot.    Oh wait, I have one... Happy day!  :jackson:

G-12

I was given an AA side by side 10 gauge turkey special for my high school graduation present.

Mine is regulated well and I have killed a ton of ducks and geese with it. And one turkey. 

But I think my ultimate 10 would be a Bowling Gold lite with a 22-23 inch bbl dipped in new bottomland, and equipped with a ff3. And a good choke.


If I'm dreaming I'd like to see Benelli come out with a 10 gauge version of the SBE2

If I could just find a b square for my bps 10 heavy hitter I would be set!!


Talkem into given up!!!

A Browning Gold Lite NWTF with a ?? choke shooting Win Supreme XXs 5s. I would need to test my chokes for the final answer.

Since it's just a dream how bout a benelli super vinci  or sbe2 in a big 10, even a limited run or something! !!! Come on benelli lol.

Hold on to your 10's guys. Like the T rex I believe they'll go extinct in production. Love my Browning gold light. Its like carrying a scoped 1187 weight wise. Had the bps and sold it. I'll miss the big bore once its gone.
