Title: Finally took a bird with the Weatherby
Post by: Fisher62 on April 14, 2016, 06:06:02 PM
Been a tough season just could get on a bird. I had purchased a Weatherby SA 459 20 gauge to give the 20 a try. It was worth the wait. It absolutely hammered this gobbler!! Shooting the Hevi 13 through a Sumtoy choke. He didn't even flop. Shot him at 35 steps. 11 inch beard and 1 inch razor sharp Spurs. (http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160414/7997f944c276532542c528dfa48b54dc.jpg)The 20 is a joy to carry and the recoil is so much better than my 12.

Nice!   Tom thinks your gun sucks! :turkey2:  3 have thought mine does too!  It is such an easy pointing little gun.  I love carrying my pop gun.  Especially when I meet up with others on public.  100% have asked what I am carrying.

That gun does look good next to a dead bird.
