Nice I am about to buy my third turkey gun, I have two pumps right now going for a semi auto next. And you were right earlier about the Retay chokes Jebs, Indian Creek, Sumtoy, Kicks and Trulock all make them. So Retay is back on the table for me.

Awesome. I was hoping to shoot it today but its pouring rain. I hope it patterns good. It will have to do really good to beat out the new pistol grip Franchi. That think throws a wicked pattern.

Never have to many guns, to much ammo, to much money or to much good bourbon. One more I could include but this is a family site.

Sumtoy. I sent him a picture on Sunday of my Franchi with his mount on it next to the Retay with the factory rail. There is no comparison. Williams mounts are very sleek and you won't find a better guy to deal with. My son and I went to his shop once to pick up a choke. We ended up staying most of the afternoon.

Nice collection, you are missing the Sa459 and the X3 long beard.

Dang... and I'm having a hard time justifying buying a 2nd gun at this point because my primary gun works and I can only tote one of them anyways...

Don't tell me that!!! Haha. I've taken a break from buying 20 gauges for the last month and started buying old model 700 rifles.

LOL I feel your pain.  Both the guns I mentioned have become " hens teeth" as both are no longer made.

Who dipped your bottomland gun ??

You know, most of my guns, I didn't even know I wanted them until after I bought them.  Funny how the gun closet kept getting crowded.

Wow Pepperhead, the turkeys need to just load up and get out of your state all together. I never seen a guy with ten turkey guns. Talk about being well armed. That is amazing.
