RE: How many turkey guns
One designed for turkeys, one also used for turkeys, but less so since I got my turkey-specific gun. I still would LOVE to have a:
12 gauge (maybe 10), over/under, both barrels bored to 10 gauge (if a 12 gauge gun), ported, polished, camoclad, single selective trigger, 3 1/2" chambered, LimbSaver padded, turkey gunw/camoclad Bushnell Holosight, andasling,24 inch barrels choked to an 80-85% in a 30 inch circle 20yard and an 80-90% in a 30 inch circleat 40+yardpattern. I think that'd be ideal, as then you could choose the more open choke for the close birds and the tight long range choke for those hung up toms, and the tight barrel could also be a second shot if you missed up close! Of course, I'd shoot 3 1/2" Federal Heavyweight Mag Shok FliteControl shells, #6 shot. If I had that gun, I'd neverwant foranother turkey gun. (I would reserve the right to add recoil compensators as necessary, especially if in 10 gauge to begin.)
