Guest TheDeerHunter Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 I'm going to start turkey hunting this year and I was wanting to know what would be better. A Thompson Center Encore Shotgun or a Remington Shotgun? I was woundering because with the Encore you are only going to get one shot and with the Remington you'd get more than one if needed.

huntinsonovagun Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Re: Which is better? They will both get the job done. I would lean towards the Rem, since you have the chance to cycle another shell, but rember to make that first one count!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Re: Which is better? I would pick a Remington. An 870 to be specific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kooter Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Re: Which is better? i would have to say the TC, because that is all i have now. the idea of only one shot kinda scares me, but just got to remeber to make the 1st one count. i would say that either one will be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cutter10x Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Re: Which is better? i have both andit just depends on the day...but most days i prefer the ENCORE..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DaHunter Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Re: Which is better? I would go with the remington...better selection of guns and cheaper. They make some great guns and it allows more than one shot, i would say with the right choke they probably shot the same distances unless you get a rem 3 1/2" then it may have a longer range.

Guest beardsNspurs Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Re: Which is better? In all of my successful hunts, I've never needed to give em more than one dose of the good medicine, I think either would work fine. Not likely to get another shot, but I've never needed one. Either get em on the first, or miss clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
