Added a new (to me) turkey slayer to my arsenal.
Next time I go hiking up a mountain after gobblers with Hayudog, instead of toting my heavy 12 gauge land cannon, I'll be carrying this lightweight shooter!!
I bought a used single shot H & R Topper in 20 gauge. I had the barrel cut down to 22 inches, and tapped to take a choke. Then I had the barrel drilled and tapped for a scope rail. Next I replaced the old wood stock with an AR style stock. I topped it off with an Indian Creek choke with .562 constriction and a Trijicon dual illumination (tritium and fiber optic) RMR green dot scope.
I'll be shooting Apex TSS Small Town Hunting Blend #7.5/#9's through it, and I'm super excited to get out to the range and see what she can do!!
Here she is.....

Yeah that will beat the heck out of an old heavy twelve up and down the mountains.

That's a slick looking set up. If I should ever abandon my 12 that looks like a fine option.

Very inventive! Can't wait to see it leaning next to a Tom. Got a feeling, you will get the yellow shell fever and reach for that on many a trip.

That's sweet. Should be a shooter. Post pics of the patterns when you shoot it

Nice set-up... Easy to pack and carry... Better NOT miss!
Did I do that?

Nothing like seeing a kids eyes light up upon hearing that first gobble.
