I've got two of them but this is the one I've carried for about the last 5-6 yrs. It's a Thompson Center Encore 12 ga. and currently it's topped with an Indian Creek Choke and loaded with Hevi 13 7's.

You got that right!

Guys there are some really nice rigs posted on this thread. Here is mine. It's an 870 Special Purpose Mag 12GA, in The original Mossy Oak Bottomland. Last year I put aTRU-GLO Gobble stopper on her, and put a Hevi 13 choke on. She's always been a fan of 3" #6's. She is currently throwing HEVI-13 3" 2oz #6's. When I switched to Hevi-13 last spring I got 181 in a ten inch cirlce at 40 yards. I know it's shy of the magic 200, but it's plenty good for me.

you all got some dandys right there. I don't even have a pic of mine to show, lol. may have to get one.
anyway its an 835 ulti mag, i prefer the 3.5s federal flite control #6s, when I can find them and they don't cost a fortune.
What are you talking about Shane. 181 with 2 oz. of 6's is a "HELL" of a pattern. If mine would do that I'd be shooting 6's.
I love them Hevi 13's. :z-paddy-smiley113:
Hey, I've got a Mossy 500 that I bought from Shane yrs. ago. I almost forgot that I have that gun. My son Joe shot his first turkey with that gun. It's a shooter.
Yep. My Mossy 500 was the top dog when it came to recoil until I bought my Encore. That thing kicks like the Hammer of Thor.
I love carrying it and using it in the turkey woods but absolutely "hate" patterning sessions. It's painful.
thats the reason I don't shoot mine much at all. By far the hardest kicking gun I ever shot.

I love the Hevi-13's. Man they do a number a turkey's noggin! Glad to hear that You still have the old Mossburg I sold you, and I'm equally glad to hear Joe shot his first with it.
Nice rigs guys! I'll try and get pic's of mine tonight, I dropped the camera in a sink full of water so it's hopefully drying out in a bag of rice at the moment.
I like the Hevi 13 6's alot and have really good patterns with them. I really wanted to try the 7's this year, but came across a deal from a member on here for 3 boxes of the old white hevi 6's, so I'm going to see how they do. As far as lead, I've had really good luck/patterns with the Winchester HV (black shell) 3.5 6's.
man i wish i still had my 500 had a 2'' piece of 2x4 screwed on the end of the stock very comfortable to me. had two barrels for and everthing killed several birds with it had a pacmyer slip on. the recoil was'nt all that bad in fact it was a daisy to shoot.
but someone thought they needed it more than i did and stole it out of my truck.
i sure miss it
rick had one almost just like it and man that thing would knock the snot out of you it had a 28'' barrel with ports
That thing did hurt to shoot, but that 500 I have that I had customized doesn't kick all that bad. Ofcourse when you draw down on a bird, you never feel the recoil.
Here is my Benelli Nova with an Indian Creek choke and some Hevi-13 3" 2oz 6's. There is a pattern from last year with this combo with a count of 182, not too bad. I'd like to try out some Hevi 7's before the season maybe, sounds like they are nasty.

Those Nova's are really neat guns.. I love the lines on them. That's a heck of a pattern with 6's. Not much need for seven's with a pattern like that. Nice and even too.
You're rt. Rick. It's really nice we don't notice recoil when shootin at birds.
Have any of you guys had any trigger work done on your guns?? My Encore trigger is set at 1 3/4 lbs. I wouldn't do that if it wasn't a single shot it'd be too dangerous on follow up shots. I love my trigger. I know it helps tremendously with flinching.

I had trigger work done on my 06, and it does help a lot. I have plans to get a trigger job for the old turkey as well as a .338 win mag I inherited from dad.
Shane. Wasn't that .338 a Weatherby?

It's definately a .338 win mag. It's my elk gun, and Alaska Gun if I ever get there. :z-guntootsmiley:
My bad. I was thinking it was a Weatherby but now realize it couldn't be. It's a real nice gun, rt? I'm pretty sure your Dad showed it to me.

I bet he showed you that Colt Sauer he had. That thing was fancy as heck, almost to pretty to hunt with.
i barrowed a gun from my boss a few years back to deer hunt with he handed me a colt sauer 243 i said it was to sharp to hunt with and id rather not take it but he insisted so i took it home and cleaned it up and shot it in took it hunting for the weekend when i got home and looked it up i was amazed to see what they sell for glad i did'nt know what it was worth before hand MAN! that thing was pretty
my 870 with some mods i.e. Burris Fastfire, .670 Pure Gold choke and I shot either Nitro 4x5x7s or Hevi-13 #6s (going to try the magnum blend soon). I actually modified the Burris mount last season - the speedbead mount was not working so I got the gun drilled and tapped for a weaver mount. I ended up killing my 2 birds last season with my son's 870 20 ga., but my big boy 12 ga. will be ready this season!

Nice gun Ricochet! Those 870's look badass these days.
Shane, It must have been the Sauer. I remember him being really proud of it.
On another note I heard from Tracy yesterday. He was interested in a Ky. hunt. "Free" - of course!! What a piece of work that guy is. He hasn't changed one bit. lol
Here's my 20

Thanks, it doesn't look much like it did when I first bought it. It's a turkey killing machine now! :z-guntootsmiley:

The last time I saw Tracy, was several years ago when I was up In Lansing During muzzleloader season. At the time he said he was going to work for Hunters Specialties full time, is that where he is at now? He's a character for sure!
I'm not sure where he's working but I do know you gotta be careful with him. He came down here with Rick White, some other small guy that was the NWTF world champion friction guy and they stayed at the house. We guided em all to their first Osceola's. Wound up costing me a lot more than them!!! You had any muskrat?? What was that guys name?? The Muskrat trapper we met at the bar where we met Tracey. lol That guy was funny.

Tracy definately is a guy you keep at arms length. Harris was the muskrat trapper. He ended up going blind. I can't think of anything worse for an avid outdoorsman. Old Harris trapped throughout the winter, commercial fished the summer and hunted in between. The man was what I would call throwback. Definately another unique character. At one time he was mayor of Lansing. When I first met him as a kid ,he was the undertaker / groundskeeper at the cemetary.
