Quote from: Notsoyoungturk on June 17, 2025, 12:28:40 PMI hunt with a Beretta and red dot.  I have the A300 Ultimate Turkey KO.  I believe it is lighter than the A400.  24 inch barrel.  Mine came with a picatinny rail installed and was ready for a red dot.  It is my go to gun.  Put an Indian Creek choke in it and patterns are great.  As far as TSS wearing out the parts, how many rounds are you putting through the gun in a year.  Unless it is doing double duty, not many.

I'm probably an outlier on amount of turkey shells used a year. Ive seen some gas guns start failing in just 200 tss rounds. The OP was talking about a gun that lasts 40 years.

That's an interesting point and I had not heard that about TSS. I have shot well north of 400 rounds of waterfowl (steel and a few bismuth) and dove loads through my a400s without issue. Never thought about TSS being any different. Something to consider but even if I do hunt it 40 years, i will rarely shoot more than 10 rounds through it a year. I'm just scared of Benellis after all the "click" horror stories. My buddy just replaced his spring and swears it solved the click but we will see.

Nice set up. Love the Holosun. I have a 501CGreeen on my Retay Gordion Turkey 20.

Thats a great looking gun. Theres so many choices its hard to decide.

I was very fortunate.  I bought mine from Midway for $699 when they were discontinuing it with the Mossy Oak DNA camo pattern.  It was a no brainer.  I posted the sale on Old Gobbler and I think a couple of other guys picked one up.  It has been a great performer and I have yet to have a turkey complain about the Mossy Oak DNA pattern.
