Don't do it, You'll regret it for the rest of your life. Your wife won't like it one bit, they're too heavy and bulky and the shells cost too much.  ;)

 :morning:  Have a desire for a single shot. Had a double SxS, but it WAS heavy. Around 12 lbs as I recall.  :camohat:

I just realised I'm in the 10 ga. forum. It came up as an unread post and I jumped in without looking. I've got no business here lol. I will say that I've always had a soft spot for single shots. Good luck with your search.

I'm eventually going to get one also. I'm on a quest to have a gun in every gauge and kill a turkey with them. I think for the 10 I'm going with an auto though. Chief

I got bit a few years back and had to have one. Well actually I ended up with 2. Remington SP-10 and a Marlin 55 Super Goose. They are definitely turkey killers. They pattern really well. The shells are a little more expensive. As for as recoil... Mine don't kick as much as my Win. Super X2 with 3 1/2".  The down side is the weight. My SP-10 with a 21" barrel weighs in at 11 lbs. I had the Marlin 55 cut to 22" and had it threaded for choke tubes. It weighs about 9 1/2 lbs. The Marlin actually patterns better than the SP-10. I bought it from Cabela's used gun rack for $150. Cut and threaded the barrel. Camo dipped it in Moth Wing Spring Mimickery . I love my 10's. Nothing like the roar of a 10 on a clear, calm spring morning.... Hope this talks you out of it !!!! LOL.

I got hooked on 10 gauges when I was about 23 years old and a relative lent me a Richland side by side 10 gauge for goose hunting. With #2 copper plated lead it was a goose killing.machine.

I still have a BPS 10 and use it some every year.

There is just something cool about them.

How about this. A buddy sent me this pic recently of his Mossberg 500 20 ga with indian creek .555 with 22 inch barrel. That is 293 TSS 9 shot at 40 in a 10inch circle. No pain, no weight and the gun can probably be had for $200.
