Does anyone still hunt with a single shot?

[TScottW99]

My main turkey gun is a T/C Encore 12 gauge.  I love it!  I also hunt deer with an Encore.  I grew up hunting with a Stevens 94 in 12 gauge and a .410.  I also hunted with a Revalation 16 gauge. I still take it out on a fall hunt or two every year.

I may take one once or twice a year but I swore off singles for a main carry gun years ago.

I also have a Russian hammerless single shot. It shoots 3" shells and is very light and quick to the shoulder. I had it threaded for Invector+ chokes several years ago and it patterns very well, especially with 3" H-13 shells with #6 and #7 shot.

Thanks,

I hunted with single shot shotguns for everything when I was a kid and had no choice because they were inexpensive. I have not hunted with one for many years and frankly do not want to. My favorite turkey gun now is an Italian made semi ie. Benelli SBE. It's the first semi I have ever owned and I love it. I do have a soft spot for my 1959 vintage Win. Model 12 12 ga. though.

not to bring up an older thread but the H&Rs 20ga single shots that are mentioned. Anyone know what model they might be. I have a chance to pick up a model 88 and was wondering how well it would do.

I believe mine is an 88 with a fixed full choke. I shoot 3" lead #6's, and have good patterns out to 25 yards. Definitely take a few types of rounds to the range and find what works best. I've killed two now with this setup, both were bang flops. If you spend some money to have someone thread it for a choke you'll have a lot more options.
