Title: bolt action turkey gun pics
Post by: jokasr07 on March 22, 2011, 10:45:52 AM
I am currently considering to turn an old mossberg 395kb into a turkey gun, just because for about $100 bucks its cheap. My real question is does anyone have a bolt turkey gun if so could you post some pics. thanks

got a mossy 395ka and its a nice little gun, use it mostly for rabbits and squirrel, but i think it could make a nice turkey gun

turned a marlin 55 into a turkey shoot (target) gun.some of the marlin & mossberg barrels are thick enough to thread for rem chokes.or you could have a custom barrel made.SUMTOY CUSTOMS does my work.he can also fit them for a scope.

i have a old bolt action Mossberg 20ga.
as long as you can set it up with the right choke and load it will perform as good as any  :icon_thumright:

I have a marlin bolt action 12 gauge fixed full. It was my Pawpaw's the gun had not been shot since 1976, the year prior to his death.  I got it from my Daddy, and killed a turkey with it two years ago. I shot the Federal Flite control #5, did real good !!!!!!

They all work good. I like the marlin and build a lot of outlaw guns out of them.  You can also get a big after market stock for them.
