VTbrshbstr Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 What kind of shotgun is everbody using for those gobblers this spring? I've been using an older 12 gauge Remmington 870 Express Mag. 26 inch vent rib matte barrel with Tru-Glow bead and Remmington extra full extended turkey choke. I upraged the wood stocks with a black Remington sythnetic forend and a Black ATI sythentic stock with pistol grip. I would like to update the stocks again with the Remmington Sure-Shots and add optics at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 I have the Remington 887 Nitro Mag with a Bushnell Trophy Red Dot Scope, and a Remington XX Full Ventilator Choke .... The round of choice is the Winchester Extremes in 3.5 2oz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetailfreak55 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 I have the Mossberg 835 with tru glow sights and a jelly head choke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 A 12 gauge winchester 1300 buck and tom model. With the factory choke that came with the gun the 3 inch #5 winchester high velocity turkey loads pattern real well. Girls are using a 20 gauge remington 870 youth gun with a truglo gobblestopper choke, using remington nitro's, winchester turkey loads we tried did not pattern quite as well with that setup.

colorado bob Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I use my 870 Wingmaster, it's a 2 3/4". I bought the gun back in 1971, saving my money from a newspaper route. I use a factory full choke. This year I'm using 1 1/2 oz, Baby Mag of #5's. I finally ran out of my old duck loads of Federal Baby Mag #4's.

dbHunterNY Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I've got a Benelli Supernova 12ga in Advantage Timber camo with a Slogan Ultraflex sling, Burris Speed Bead red dot, and PureGold turkey .670" choke. Shooting Hevi-13 right now but it works with some other shells i've got too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHISKEYSWAMP Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Remington 1187 with factory bead sights is all I use... usually camo it up with gun tape just before season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Givan Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Remington 870 Express 12 ga with factory bead that I painted white. I cover the gun with no-mar camo gun tape and use a Tru-glo turkey choke with Winchester Supreme #5s. This set up has dropped birds at 45+ yards several times, which is plenty good enough for me.

Strut10 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Been using a Super X2 for about 8-10 years now. 30mm red-dot sight on a saddlemount, Comp-N-Choke XXX-Full tube and 3 1/2" Winchester Supreme HV 2 oz. #6 lead shotshells. Getting a Super X3 tricked out as we speak. May use use it this spring. Hard to leave a gun named "No Doubt" at home. But Thinking of giving the X3 a whirl.

FSU_Seminole Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Benelli Vinci 24'' barrel, in realtree AP camo. Using Winchester 2 ounces #6s standard Benelli modified choke. On my second piece of property I use heavy shot Hevi #5s with Briley super full turkey choke and they will reach out and get you. Killed a bird at 70 yards in 2011 with the second set up.

RangerClay Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I have a limited edition DU Mossberg 500. It may not be the most expensive gun in the world but if a turket gets less than 50 from me....he's toast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbHunterNY Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I have a new Benelli supernove that I am going to try out this year.... still looking for a turkey choke, but shouldnt be to difficult to find one. Maverick 88 12g with a 28" barrel and full choke tube. Some day I'll be able to get a Supernova! just shot Dead Coyote 3.5" T-shot loaded shells out of it the other day to pattern it and go coyote hunting. I've got the one with the comfortech stock in the picture i previously posted. it soaked up the recoil real good. left a circle at about 20yds 6" diameter pattern that would put a hurtin' on just about anything.
