Title: Your Roaring 20s, 28s, .410s and/or archery
Post by: FullChoke on March 17, 2024, 11:18:09 AM
We are a team that is based on the intelligent and carefully considered move away from the excessively over-sized big bore guns to the equally lethal smaller gauges. This includes the 20, 28 and .410 shotguns as well as archery equipment. Our choices of firepower are based on research into chokes, advanced shells and results on patterning boards and not on misguided myths that you need to use watermain sized gauges that are approaching single digits in order to shoot the big birds.

Show us what you are carrying into the spring woods this year to kill a mocking bird.

Cheers  ;D

Have an eastern with the muzzleloader and plan to get a slam with it too. It's a different challenge but fun.

I started off with a Remington 870 Express 20 gauge and modified her into my dedicated turkey gun. I started by polishing the interior of the barrel, added an RSF .570" choke tube, drilled and tapped the receiver and installed a Picatinny rail scope mount and then mounted a Mueller red dot site on top of that, outfitted her in a custom 3D camouflage party dress in her favorite colors, wove a sling out of camo Paracord and fed her a TSS diet for 10 years now that has her in peak Olympic performance shape.

Here she is with a quickly-deflating believer in her innate abilities.

First two are the Tristar twins. One is 20 gauge the other one is .410. The third one I just got a few weeks ago. It's a Mossberg SA-28 Tactical Turkey. I'm hoping to use the 28 gauge instead of the .410 if my shoulder allows it. For those of you that have shot a 28 gauge, how is the recoil compared to a 20 gauge? I'm going to use some 1.5 ounce Apex Greenleaf blends in it. I've been shooting the 1 5/8 ounce Greenleaf blends in my 20 gauge this past season. I'm hoping the 28 gauge will have a noticeable reduction in recoil compared to my 20 gauge.

You said it identified as a Benelli and I told no that's not how this works. Then you ran off to the transgender restroom and I never saw you again.   :smiley-char092:
