Dakota Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 How many people use one for waterfowl or turkey and what is your opinion of it/how well does it perform? I traded one of my 20 gauges today for a NEF 10 gauge single-shot and am looking to use it for geese and turkeys. Any comments are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

92xj Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Hope you can load it insanely fast! I have a buddy that goose hunts with his rarely. It does the trick but would rather have his 12 ga with all the shooting. Sitting beside him shooting my SBEII with 3.5 #4, we were both dropping birds all morning. Saw no gain of the 10 over the 12. If you like it, shoot it. Just be sure to get really good at shooting it. You're not going to want to shoot it all morning, plus having the single shot on waterfowl is going to frustrate you a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dakota Posted February 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Single shot is not what you wanted. Actually it is, I've hunted with single-shots all my life; my first gun was a NEF Pardner youth 20 gauge, I took my first goose with my dad's NEF Pardner 12 gauge and my first deer rifle was a NEF Handi-Rifle .243. I'm real comfortable with them and know they are able to do "one shot, one kill". I know that in a single-shot the recoil is going to be considerable, but I'm planning on getting a slip-on limbsaver recoil pad, too. Another nice thing is that it is a heavy gun so the recoil won't be as terrible. Plus, I've shot 3 1/2" turkey loads before out of a 12 gauge and, from what I've heard, the recoil isn't a whole lot more than that.

Shaun_300 Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I think it's great you got a 10ga Dakota, I plan on getting that exact same gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
