Title: How many
Post by: Hook hanger on June 19, 2025, 12:39:57 PM
How many dedicated turkey guns do you own? I know some of you guys must have quite the collection. I'm not talking about double duty guns just the ones you only hunt turkeys with.

I have 4 dedicated turkey guns but of the 4 my Winchester SX4 20 gauge gets used the most. It's been 5 years since I used my 12 gauge dedicated turkey gun.

-Primary 20 gauge that gets carried most of the time (Benelli monte compact)

-Backup 20 gauge that goes on the road with me always, but rarely gets carried (Mossberg 510 bantam)

-870 supermag that I have setup for some of the northeast states that require 7 shot

-18.5" bbl 940 pro turkey that I setup with #10s. Thats just a fun gun for ultimate pattern density. More of a novelty at this point and rarely gets carried

Will probably add a 28ga. before next spring.

Thats a long way to say 4... I have 4 dedicated turkey guns.

Four.  In the past few years I've only used two of them.  One for good weather and one for rainy days with a tube style red dot.

An 870 SuperMag in 12 gauge, and a H & R single shot 20 gauge.

One.
I've killed well over a hundred Gobblers with the same Rem. 870. I've never Turkey hunted with anything else. I got it brand new over 30 years ago and never seen the need to change.
