Hey guys I posted up a few ago about my new turkey gun...well yesterday while I was coaching my little league baseball team someone stole it out of my truck. I didn't sleep at all last night but when the going gets tough the tough get going. I'm now in the market for a new turkey gun, any suggestions? -Phil
Wow... That is terrible sorry to hear that.... :(
There's some low people that walk this earth... :angry9:
I hate to hear that. >:(
Unbelievable. There are some low life scumbags out there. Hope you catch the little creep..Set up a sting with another gun, with the cops watching..Stuff like that really pees me off..I had 10 -12 guns stolen once. On Christmas Day. Makes you want to grab everyone you see and throttle them. I feel your pain..Good luck..Mike
What kind of rig was it??
Wish those people would stop breeding and fall off the planet.
There's a few people I can name, that are no good.
Sorry to hear about that. I hope you find a nice replacement soon.
:character0029: That really sucks!! Did you report the serial ## to any local gun shops in the area??
Nothing worse than a thief, wouldn't ya like to get a hold of him
makes you want to beat somebodies butt..... :fud: :fud: :fud:
Get the Ser# turned in. I am a FFL dealer and it will help. That gun may show up in a shop.
Yes i reported it and yes it pee'd me off! It was a camo 3.5 inch 870 but what are your all's suggestions for turkey guns? What do you like, who don't you like?
Lower in gun go with the 870 or 835. Now if you want a auto go with the Browning or Win SX3. I do know some one with a 935 but don't know what they want or how much money to put in a used one.
my two cents is I like my mossberg 835 with kicks (gobbling thunder) choke, after reading this site wish I had got a pure gold choke but still happy.
One other thing to suggest is watch for your new toy at gunbroker.com.
BassPro advertised this gun for about $495.00 plus tax, got it at gunbroker like new for $200 plus 20 to FFL!
Gunbroker is like eBay for guns,
List your gun at www.stolengun.com hope you get lucky.

I feel real bad for you I had 14 guns stolen out of my house last fall I was sick about it I turned in ser. # and cop took a report and we have herd nothing just makes me sick because we are perty sure we know who took them and the police did nothing so I HOPE you get yours back.
Oh as far as a good turkey gun I replaced my stolen 935 with a winchester super x2 3 1/2 inch I love it.
I am sorry to hear that. That guy will get his. As for a new gun, I hope you get something you like as well or better. You can't go wrong with another 870. For a turkey gun, there is nothing better than an 835. They are long range killers, but not my favorite to shoot or shoulder.
sorry to hear about that. i cant stand a thief. as far as new guns go i'd look at an 870 for a pump and an 1187 for an auto.
Not that it will help you feel better but 4 years ago I was at a local Gunshop with dad just browsing. We found a gun that was stolen from him 30 years prior...hows that for anythings possible?..get pics up..serial numbers, etc..don't let it go quietly..maybe even offer a reward for anonymous info.good luck!
Those of you who have had stolen guns in the past that weren't found yet hang in there.. A buddy of mine had one stolen and it ended up turning up two years later. You still have a chance.
As for my favorite turkey gun it is my Moss 535 I bought for my nephew to use . It just carry's so nice and shoots very well. The only thing is the heavy 3 1/2 in. loads might pound on your shoulder and cheek a bit. It is well worth the punishment.
I'd buy the same gun again.
Your REM 870 was new when it was stolen, so you must have liked that model pretty well if you had just bought it - if that is the case then buy another like the first one.
