Title: New Bone Collector Turkey Series 12ga
Post by: PoolGobbler on February 09, 2023, 11:17:12 AM
Announced 2 days ago. Intrigued by the 20in barrel but pretty steep msrp of $1749. Thoughts?

Yes. i saw the reviews and his video, i wasn't that impressed with it myself.. no - pistol grip and the pricing .. I do like the fact it's the Inertia system.

Looks like a very nice gun but man that price tag might sway some folks. Not sure it'll kill a turkey any deader than what we're using now but I'm sure people will still love to have it

Looks like a $799.99 shotgun.

Looks like an answer to a question asked 10 or more years ago.

$1700 for a shotgun that's from a brand I've never even heard of.  That's a bold move cotton.

Wondering if this is "Benelli/Franchi" but for the Money $$$ and I could care less to have their logo on it... adds no value to me. Also should have had a pistol or "thumbhole" like Remington's stock on it.

Good looking gun. I couldn't care about the logo either, but I understand the thought behind it. Don't see a lot of people forking out $1700 for that gun. I think more interest if it was under $1000.

But it comes with a Bone Collector case. And, don't discount — per the video — that it doubles "as a hatchet."  :lol:

For that kind of bucks,  you can trick out a gun with the best custom  Camo, forcing cone work, choke tube match, and quality optic, not to say one of the more reliable name brand guns.....

No doubt, and a lot more fun personalizing one to be exactly the way you want it to be.

It is not Benelli/Franchi. I like some of the features on the gun, but I'm not gonna pay that much for a Turkish gun just because it says Bone Collector on it. When I first heard of them coming out with their "own" signature gun I was hoping they would market it more towards an average hunter price point.  At least they were honest when I asked where the gun was being manufactured.

That's because it is! You can get a Weatherby Element (Made in Turkey, inertia driven) for $699. That extra $1000 would buy a nice optic and a PILE of TSS.

These Turkish guns are imported under a ton of different brands. I'm almost certain that gun is built on the Element platform. But I would
be embarrassed to carry anything with the BC logo on it...

His endorsements usually aren't that good ... remember him endorsing the Flextone Thunder Gobble tube Calls... Whoever wants to pay for his time ...

Nothing wrong with Turkish guns, but I'm not paying $1800 for one.

Besides, this gun was a build people would have been shooting a decade ago. Welcome to 2022, Michael Waddell. We shoot subgauges, we shoot tss, we like sub 5.5lb guns and short stocks.

Gun companies just do not listen to customers.

"we" is a pretty broad term. I would say there still is a pretty big number of turkey hunters that still shoot 12's and
like them. Variety is the spice of life. Not everyone wants to hunt with a stubby 20 gauge and expensive shells to take a turkey at 20 yards.

Looks like a nice shotgun & set up nice. Cost more than my beretta a400 xtreme plus though.

I personally wouldn't be comfortable with the warranty & customer service aspect if there were any issues. $600-800 maybe.

Would be better off hunting with what Michael Waddel has been using for the last 35+ yrs. Remington

Turkish junk.  They don't have more than a few hundred bucks in that gun and asking $1,799 lol.
