Title: What are you hunting with.
Post by: turkey harvester on March 02, 2017, 10:10:13 PM
What is everyone using this year in the turkey woods?
I'm going to be using the ole mossy 835. I had a .680 kicks choke in it that done real well. I haven't shot any long beards yet. But my buddy bought me a jeb's .660 to put in it and wow. I just thought it was a killer, but now it will flat throw a patten. If the longbeards hold too tight for me I'm going back to my trusty Winchester supremes.

I'm taking out the 11-87 with a Rhino choke and Longbeards. Not too tight at 20 and great pellet count at 40 to stop the strut!

I'm shorting a Stoeger M3500 with a Hevi Shot .656 choke. I will be using Hevi Magblends. The pattern that combo throws is hard to beat. 6's scatter good at shorter distances and the 5's and 4's reach on out there. As they say, you can't fix what's not broken. This has been my setup for a while now. I've tried other shell and choke combos but nothing is close to this in my gun.

I'll be using a 12 ga. Browning Silver with the factory full strut choke (.640) with a Eotech 512, shooting 3" federal 3rd degree through it. That seems to be a winning combo for me.
