My current setup is a customized spartan arms 12 which throws a mean pattern in a light weight set up and I imagine the Mossberg would as well.

That's the fate of many of my guns currently, however. Most serve a purpose when evaluating some new choke, recoil pad, cheek piece, stock or shell and then set neglected for long periods of time after that.I do think I'll get the SSi-ONE out this week however. I want to compare the patterns with it, the 935 and the new 835 with the Matthews Harmonic Dampner recoil reduction system (long explanation) that I'm evaluating. It will also be interesting to compare the relative recoil of each gun.My turkey season starts on Thursday and I need to decide what I'll take to the turkey woods and fields here in Illinois.Thanks,Clark

Not long ago, I got out my first turkey gun a 12 gauge H&R Topper and cleaned it from top to bottom, taking it all apart and spending way too much time renewing it, so that it looked as good, or maybe better when I bought it sometime in the 1960s.It is a fixed full choke gun of course, with an original 2.75" chamber, that I used for a variety of game. I shot many squirrels with it and only later did it become my turkey gun.As you pointed out, you must be sure of your shot because a second one is highly unlikely. If you're concentrating on taking a second shot, you're not concentrating of the first one and that's a disaster. That gun made me a better hunter and more careful.Prior to buying that gun, I'd hunted with an old Mississippi River Valley Arms 20 gauge single shot that belonged to my Great Uncle Barney and then to my older brother Charlie. The wood was soft from age and probably dry rot and the action was not very tight but it too accounted for a number of squirrels and a few rabbits. I have no idea how it was choked but it worked when I did my part.I like single shot guns and the modern ones are much safer with far more features to them.I'll get that gun out tomorrow hopefully, once I get my "catch-up" work done.Thanks,Clark
