If you could buy any gun for the turkey woods what would it be? :OGturkeyhead:

A lightweight single shot 12x3" set up by William at Sumtoy; short barrel, small red dot or ghost site, dipped in Realtree Extra Green... :icon_thumright:

Pretty happy with the 3 I own. If I had the urge and the money for another I would get an older American Arms stack barreled 10 bore, screw in tubes.

Any gun

I'll take a Holland and Holland or similar best shotgun with 3.5 inch chambers (don't think that exist) with world class engraving of game scenes with my dogs. 1 barrel set with 2 fixed turkey choke constrictions and 1 barrel set with a 15 and a 25.

Practical gun.

I'll take my a400.

Mine would be a Beretta Xtrema II with kickoff system and a pistol grip stock fitted with a 24" Mossberg 835 barrel wearing an Aimpoint Micro T-1 red dot.  It would put 300 Hevi shot #7 pellets in a 10" circle at 60 yards under any weather condition.

A auto with a short barrel that would put 300 or better heavy shot in a 10 in circle at 60 or better yards.

I like it Skeeterbait!!

If I could figure out how to post pictures, I would post mine.

Mine is a SBE Steady Grip, added a softer recoil pad, added a God o Grip shotgun wedge to get my eye up a little higher for my FF3 mounted on a 336 base with FF Protector, Willaims Extra Power Recoil Spring, Trigger tuned by Rob Robertson, Rhino .660 Choke and Nitro 4x5x7 3.5", putting over 300 in a 10" @ 40 consistently.

I have several turkey specific shotguns already, a Benelli SBE, a Benelli Nova 20, a Rem 870 SM, a Browning BPS 10 and a Knight TK 2000. Not in the market but if I were I would look hard at the Benelli SBE II.

Post by: the Ward on May 02, 2014, 03:59:53 PM
I already own mine! Benelli vinci,steady grip, bushnell trs-25, sumtoy .650 and kicks .665. I can swap it back to waterfowl hunting in a minute by swapping the stock back, pulling the sight off and putting the sumtoy fowl play choke in. Someday down the road I want a 26" plain black vinci, dip it in bottomland and put the steadygrip, trs-25 and sumtoy in for a dedicated gobbler gun. My other "dream gun" is my bps 10 that I am slowly turning into a lethal dedicated turkey taker. Btw, love that gun Skeeterbait! The camo on that gun  just looks amazing too!     :OGturkeyhead:

I'd probably have to go nostalgic on this one. My dream turkey gun would simply be an 870 or 11-87 in the old mossy oak greenleaf in pristine condition

budtripp,  Killed one this year with an Ol 21" barrel Greenleaf 11-87. It was my perfect turkey gun for years. Still get it out every year, just for old time sake. Made a lot of good memories with that old gun.

:icon_thumright: I had a chance to buy a pristine 870 greenleaf last fall from a memner on here but I had just bought an 870 super mag so couldn't justify it at the time and passed it up.  Still regretting that one.  Maybe one of these days.  Also found a nice sp10 in bottomland on gunbroker awhile back but not sure I'd like to lug an 11 lb gun chasing gobblers around haha.

I was dreaming about a Beretta A400 20 gauge with Speedbead until Burris said there's no mount for it. Now I'm back to dreaming about a T/C Optima pistol or a place where I can use my .327 GP100.
Title: dream gun?
Post by: KS-Hoyt-Hunter on May 03, 2014, 06:27:41 PM
I've thought about getting something to replace my 870 Express. But then I think that every turkey I have ever killed with a shotgun has been with that gun. I got my first bird with it while hunting with my grandpa. It's a simple gun with some cheap choke I bought several years ago. I don't even know the brand of it. I think it would be awesome if I can hunt with that gun for forever, or at least as long as it holds out. For now, the plan is to keep it for as long as I can.

Those Ithica's sure look nice! Killed my first turkey with an Ithica Model 37 Feather Light and 2 3/4" #4's many years ago, still have that gun as it was the first gun my father bought me. Would like to pick one of the new Ohio Ithica's up sometime.

QuoteIf you could buy any gun for the turkey woods what would it be?

The real fun seems to be in the chase. Most of us seem to enjoy finding something better or tweaking what we have. I think that's one of the great things about turkey hunting, always looking for something just a bit better.

I've also seen a real change in what gun makers offer to us. It's possible to get just about whatever you want and that's great.

I remember when the last gun that I bought was going to be the last one that I'd ever need. Sound familiar?

Thanks,
Clark

Mine would be an old school Belgian made browning a5 20 ga that had a 26 inch barrel that was threaded for chokes.  It would  be dipped in mo bottomland and would shoot fed hw 7 like the grace of god and have mag gobbke dot sights.

I own the gun but am working on all the mods.

Benelli sbe2. Added a Burris fastfire 3 8 moa this year. Need to get it to rob Roberts for a bit of work. Going to add a steady grip.

But I'm also looking forward to the 16ga flintlock I'm going to try to take a bird with this year!

Finally have both of mine. Already had Rob do his thing on it with the forcing cone, trigger and porting it as well as dipping it SBE2 and bought my 1b gun last June M2 20gauge. Had it cerekoted and will be sending it to rob for trigger and forcing cone.

Wichester sx3 with 20" barrel, sumtoy choke, trijicon scope. That would be a light recoilin 12 even with the 3.5" shells and I know that William will build a choke to smoke the birds pretty easy.

 :fud: Winchester SX3 Longbeard 12 + 20 with my Patternmaster Code Black and 3.5" #5 Longbeards. This one is in the near future. Hard to beat my Browning Gold 3.5 12 ga, but the Winchester has the same guts and is a little lighter with the ergo grip and built in picatinny rail.
