Old school shotguns

Model 12 thread reminded me of last seasons Old school shotgun thread

Great thread, I love wood stocks. This is one of the early Benelli Super Black Eagles from the mid 90's. Is is actually a Heckler & Koch Benelli that I bought when they first came out. Love this gun, it functions flawlessly, and throws great patterns....Be safe, good luck....

A question for you guys that are shooting the old school guns. I have a mid-70's Coast-To -Coast Master-Mag. It is basically a Mossberg 500 branded specifically for Coast-To-Coast hardware stores. It shoots 3" shells and has a 30" fixed full choke barrel. Would there be any concern is shooting today turkey lead turkey shells through it...specifically Longbeards? Would the pressures be to high?

i think lead shots are ok.  pressure standards i don't think have changed in a long time.  I have been told no TSS thru fixed choke barrels.  I'm going to shoot remington Nitro Mag 6s out of mine this year.

I only hunt with old school guns... how about a Remington Model 11 built in 1919? 20 gauge 2 3/4" chamber. 

Edit: 1931... still old!

My 870 had a similar stock and forend, the corn cob forend cracked and I had to replace the forend and buttstock so they'd match.

Love these old reliables.............

Hunting with my 870 in the morning. Had it since 12yrs old. 52 now. Feels like an extension of my arm.

Amen my friend. Good luck today.....

From time to time, I'll bring my dad's 1971 870 Wingmaster and take it along for a hunt.  I often recall him telling me many years later how he messed up when he bought it.  He said it cost $10 more to get it in 3 inch so he opted for 2 3/4 only.  $10 was a lot to my dad back then and of course it was to many.  I have no idea how many turkeys that gun has killed, but it's a lot.  Dad was a turkey hunting machine.

I haven't yet, but one of these days I will kill one with my late grandfather's Westernfield 12 gauge

Yep. Hand me down from my great granddaddy. Throws great pattern. Barrel is a bit long for my liking in the woods.

I`ve about decided that it borders on un-American, if you`ve ever been a hunter/shooter , not to have owned a Remington 870 somewhere along the line! Just too classic not to have, IMHO.

Went back to a set up I used in the early 90's. Rem 870/ Hastings .665 (Non ported)/ Double beads.
Shooting Winchester XX 3/2/6's and Win HV 3/ 1 3/4/ 5's. The way that I set up on turkeys it made complete sense. The majority of turkeys I shoot are within 30yds. Large percentage within 20yds. Hard to miss with this set up.

Shot my bird this year with my great grandpa's old Beretta 413 fixed modified with 2 3/4" LB #4

I would shoot some Winchester AA Heavy Target loads. 1 oz of #7 1/2 would be deadly to 30-35 yards.
