Remington Super Mag SPS MOBU/ Williams Firesights/ Sumtoy .650


the Browning is a legitimate 65 yard turkey gun but there's just something about the relationship my 870 and i have.....

Mossberg 535 Tactical Turkey 12 gauge.   20" barrel, and an ATI adjustable stock.    Tru Glo red/green dot sight and an Indian Creek .660" choke.

It's been a long hard road with this gun, but I've finally got some nice Gobbler busting patterns to show for the work.

Post by: 3" 870 Shell Shucker on August 05, 2011, 11:59:19 AM
3" 12 Ga. 870 Express with 28" Barrel and Non-Glare Finish, MOBU Stock and Forearm, Old-Style Indian Creek .665 Ported Choke, and any of the following shells work:

H13 3" 2oz #7
H13 3" 2oz #6
H13 3" 1.75oz #6
Magnum Blend 3" 2oz 5x6x7
Win Sup HV 3" 1.75oz #5

My POA and POI are nearly dead-on with any of the above shells, and I shoot the factory bead.  It's the straightest shooting rig I've ever owned.  I traded a canoe for it.
