I own a Browning Silver, 2 new Browning A5’s and an older Win SX2 and if I were gonna build a dedicated auto Turkey I would go with the Versamax Turkey 22 incher.
Why?
1. American made.
2. My dedicated gun for the last 10 years has been Remmy 870 Max Gobbler 23 incher no vent rib.
3. It’s has a 22 inch barrel with rifle sights as a back up if red dot bites the dust no vent rib.
4. Already drilled and tapped.
5. Messy tactical makes a nice pistol grip stock for it.
6. It can be bought for around $900 at Ky Gun Co.
7. It has a very good reputation of being a little easier on recoil than other autos for big candle sticks.
Good luck on you’re search!
