Don't do it, You'll regret it for the rest of your life. Your wife won't like it one bit, they're too heavy and bulky and the shells cost too much.

Well, If you won't listen to reason.....  You might as well go ahead and buy it.

   Have a desire for a single shot. Had a double SxS, but it WAS heavy. Around 12 lbs as I recall.

I just realised I'm in the 10 ga. forum. It came up as an unread post and I jumped in without looking. I've got no business here lol. I will say that I've always had a soft spot for single shots. Good luck with your search.

I'm eventually going to get one also. I'm on a quest to have a gun in every gauge and kill a turkey with them. I think for the 10 I'm going with an auto though. Chief

I got bit a few years back and had to have one. Well actually I ended up with 2. Remington SP-10 and a Marlin 55 Super Goose. They are definitely turkey killers. They pattern really well. The shells are a little more expensive. As for as recoil... Mine don't kick as much as my Win. Super X2 with 3 1/2".  The down side is the weight. My SP-10 with a 21" barrel weighs in at 11 lbs. I had the Marlin 55 cut to 22" and had it threaded for choke tubes. It weighs about 9 1/2 lbs. The Marlin actually patterns better than the SP-10. I bought it from Cabela's used gun rack for $150. Cut and threaded the barrel. Camo dipped it in Moth Wing Spring Mimickery . I love my 10's. Nothing like the roar of a 10 on a clear, calm spring morning.... Hope this talks you out of it !!!! LOL.

I got hooked on 10 gauges when I was about 23 years old and a relative lent me a Richland side by side 10 gauge for goose hunting. With #2 copper plated lead it was a goose killing.machine.

I still have a BPS 10 and use it some every year.

There is just something cool about them.

That Marlin is awesome PDUGAS!!!!!

Y'all aren't doing a very good job knocking back my itch...

How about this. A buddy sent me this pic recently of his Mossberg 500 20 ga with indian creek .555 with 22 inch barrel. That is 293 TSS 9 shot at 40 in a 10inch circle. No pain, no weight and the gun can probably be had for $200.

   Well, maybe there's just laying around that needs a new home...
