Quote from: Missouri hunter on February 05, 2021, 11:01:50 AMI currently have a 1988 1300 NWTF 12ga for my turkey gun. I'm thinking about adding another option that would keep some of the wear and tear off the old gun. I'm considering a 20ga, maybe a Franchi Affinity 3. I never really thought I'd go with a semi-auto but I'm wanting a nice slim lighter gun 24-26" barrel. If anyone has any suggestions on a really great pump I'd take those as well. Just looking for something slightly better than average. I looked at a CZ 1012 but the choke system is incapable with any aftermarket choke systems, so that's a no go for me.Thanks!
Quote from: Missouri hunter on February 05, 2021, 11:36:09 AMThanks for letting me know that Indian creek picked up the 1012. I didn't find it in my research. Maybe I'll look again. My local gun shop as one in original bottomland.

I didn't find it in my research. Maybe I'll look again. My local gun shop as one in original bottomland.It's listed as the #0009 option under 12ga with a .670 constriction. Bet it would be mean. At the time I had my work done there were no options. I don't regret having it rethreaded but it forced me to put about $100 into the gun I would've rather spent otherwise. My only complaints with CZ (which I love, owning everything from pistols to three shotguns) is that they moved away from Mobil chokes, which is how their 12ga had been traditionally threaded, and that they only offered the gun in one barrel length. They made it as an overall bird gun, hence the length, and it's a damn good shouldering and wing shooting gun. They just didn't seem to think through the aftermarket choke situation and the potential sale to turkey hunters. Great action, though, at a great price. If you wing shoot at all and aren't married to the idea of a shorter barrel on a turkey gun I'd recommend it, especially now that these IC are available. I imagine we'll see more chokes now, and if the other guns they list on that #0009 have the same threads then honestly those chokes already exist and the companies just haven't been made aware to market them as such. Plenty of after market Beretta A400 chokes available. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Indian creek is the choke I want to try on whatever I end up with but after talking to you it will probably be the 1012. I really don't mind staying with a 12ga or a longer barrel.

I use a Jebbs .655. Shoots Hevi-13 #5, and Longbeard 5's real nice. Best of luck on your new turkey build....

I had good results with Long Bread and a Pure Gold .670. They went 140-150 in 10" with number 5 shot, but I ended up giving up on them as they weren't consistent box to box... I now have a Carlson.660 in it and I've got a couple good patterns to 40yds. Double x 5s and federal 6s are both working. I'm running close to the 90 in 10" with the 5s and 100 with the 6s.Good hunting patterns for me though.

Quote from: Missouri hunter on February 07, 2021, 02:52:08 PMUpdate for anyone interested. I went with the Cz 1012. Should be a good all purpose gun for me. I've ordered the Indian Creek .670 for turkeys. My 1300 win will still be used good weather days!
