Hey guys. New to the forum. I've been turkey hunting for a few years now. I acquired a sp-10 last year. I'm curious what setup y'all are running on this gun and how are the results. I just bit the bullet and ordered a rhino 720 choke and some apex tss 9 shot. Seems like a winning setup so far.
I just bought a used one in Bottomland not to long ago. I'm going to go the with a Sumtoy and Fed heavyweight #7s like Old Gobbler posted in this section. I have about 10 boxes of Fed#7's i need to burn up.
Post up your patterns when you get it dialed in.
What size choke are you going to be going with? I have a rhino 685 I got from a buddy and I ordered a rhino 720. Then I have the chokes that came with the gun. May pick up some of the number 7 while they are still available if they are a good round. Not too many choices out there for 10ga ammo anymore.
I was going to post a photo of my pattern but I can't get it to work for some reason.
Read Old Gobblers thread below yours..Says revised..Thats the choke I'm planning on getting.
On my third year shooting an SP-10 and I really like it. The first two I was shooting Federal Heavyweight #7 through a Trulock 680 choke, with fiber optic rifle sights. Did fine. But with that ammo being discontinued, I had to make a switch for 2020.
The new set up is a Vortex Venom 3MOA attached to a Meadow Creek Mount and Nitro #7.5 TSS though that same Trulock 680 choke. Seemed to pattern fine, though I was in a rush when doing it. And I did kill my first bird yesterday afternoon, so that's good. Having said that, I just ordered a Trulock 700 choke, as people seem to say a for the 'larger' TSS shot, something closer to 700-720 works best for many. So, I'm going to take some time and compare.
Welcome to the club! Both OG and the 10 gauge.
The 720 seems to be a good choke with the 9 shot. Blew a hole thru the cardboard at 20 yards. Almost too tight! But I got to take a good bird this morning with it. Seems to do the trick!
Please post pics when available. Am curious to see results.
If I can figure out how to post photos I will. For some reason it keeps giving me an error when uploading. I will keep trying.

It's sideways but best I could do after trying for over two days now. My iPhone is being a pain on uploading pics here

First bird with the new setup.
The results speak for themselves. Congrats!

Great shooting gun and congrats on a fine gobbler.
Thanks! I was able to tag out with the 10ga. It was a good season!
