Guest dogman27 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Has anyone shot one of the new tactical turkey guns mossberg and remington have put out? I've read a couple of reviews that say good things about them and was thinking about getting one. What do u guys and gals think about them?

Strut10 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Re: new tactical turkey guns that are out I think they look silly. You asked. They could well be a major improvement over the standard old turkey gun. I don't know. I've never had that much trouble holding on to my scatterguns to wish I had a pistol grip or thumbhole stock. It'll be interesting to hear from those who've actually spent time with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BACKWOODS Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Re: new tactical turkey guns that are out I SHOT THE MOSSBERG TACTICAL 12 GAGE WITH THE RETRACTABLE BUTT STOCK. I WOULD SAY THAT IT KICKS LIKE A MULE, THERE IS NOTHING BETWEN YOUR SHOULDER AND THE GUN BUT A BUFFER PLUG AND SPRING.AND I WAS SHOOTING A 3IN SHELL...DONT EVEN WONT TO THINK ABOUT A 3 1/2.

AJ Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Re: new tactical turkey guns that are out For starters, they are the same ole gun with a different buttstock. That's it. you can buy a $50 plastic stock and turn your existing gun into the "tactical" turkey version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xen Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Re: new tactical turkey guns that are out i will never put a pistol grip on a shotgun. i shot my father-in-laws mossberg 500 with a pistol grip and thought it was the worst thing i had ever felt in a shotgun... maybe it was just the mossberg, but i blame the pistol grip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyt03 Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Re: new tactical turkey guns that are out I don't care if they are the best shooting guns out there. Like Strut said they are the ugliest looking guns i have ever seen and wont be caught carrying something like that into the woods regardless of how it shoots. And I have to agree with what AJ said, same gun just weirded out stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaCoyote Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Re: new tactical turkey guns that are out I thought the big selling point was that the pistol grip somehow cut recoil since some of it was absorbed by the hand and wrist. Why would a pistol grip shotgun kick more than a regular one? I would think weight would be the main consideration. Anyways I think they are a bit over the top myself. I'll stick with my BPS until the itch gets too bad and I have to scratch it with another gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlriggins Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Re: new tactical turkey guns that are out do any of you know if they make a tac stock for the 935 moss. and where can I get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Dido I shot the 535 version a couple weeks ago, KICK dosnt describe the word. it was a 3 1/2" turkey load and i would say its more on the lines of being hit by a bus. I like things that make BIG bangs with big bullets but that was a little much. in the same outing i had a chance to shoot .375 h&h double rifle. I think id rather shoot a turkey with it.

LETMGROW Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Re: new tactical turkey guns that are out AJ said you COULD buy a $50 plastic stock and make your gun look new. I don't think AJ is suggesting anyone buy a cheap look alike stock. Stocks are really an integral piece of the firearm's ability to absorb recoil. The higher end composite stocks are engineered to flex or compress upon firing a shot which in fact does absorb some recoil. They also have better quality recoil pads. I personally don't see how a thumbhole grip will lessen felt recoil to any noticable degree, unless you are gripping the stock really tightly. This seems like a good way to draw the gun away from a steady hold. I was taught to relax, keep a firm but relaxed grip and let your body move with the recoil. You have to become a unit.
