What is your set up? Do you just run with the same gun you dove and duck hunt with or do you have a "turkey gun?" I have typically always used the same gun for turkeys as I do ducks, with the exception of changing the choke, but this year I turned a my Winchester SXP into strictly a turkey set up. It was a black shadow and I sponge painted it, put a Vortex Viper red dot on it, and I've always liked the cheap undertaker chokes. I shoot 3" Longbeard XRs and it'll kill them at 60. What do you use? Pics if you got em

12 gauge 3" mag Browning BPS Stalker with Federal Premium heavyweight #4.

I wish they still made that gun

Yep. I've got a Winchester 1300 NWTF camo gun that I use too.

Old 870 wingmaster 12 magnum.

My turkey gun started out as an 870 express, changed out the stocks to synthetic, put on a shorter barrel, sling swivels and a sling, and topped it off with a avian -x turkey choke.

I used my Browning A5 (28in barrel) to harvest my turkey last week. It got to job done but a lighter and shorter gun probably would be more comfortable. I also used the factory full choke, but I was shooting federal TSS.

I can tell you with all the manufacturers making sub gauge TSS turkey loads I'd never pick up another 12ga. I cringe thinking about all those 3.5" jaw rattling loads I've shot at turkeys.

Before TSS hit the mainstream, I built 10-15 youth 870 20's with 21 inch barrels and had loaded 1 5/8oz TSS loads for them. We all thought we were in heaven carrying those guns compared to our 12s.

Now it seems like all manufactures make a .410 or 28ga turkey gun. I know after toting around my son's youth .410 that weighs less than 4 pounds I feel like those 870 youth 20s I built are TANKS now. So much so, I'm about to either build or buy me a .410. Long gone are the days of needing a 12ga unless you just want to build muscle carrying it around the turkey woods.

So true. I'm shooting my daughter's single-shot 20 gauge Stevens 310 these days over the old 12 gauge. It is deadly to 40 yards with TSS and weighs 5 pounds.

Mossberg Maverick 88 20 gauge that was taking up room in the safe for the last decade. Decided it needed to earn its keep. Shooting Federal TSS 7/9 shot.

Last year I purchased a Rossi Turkey Tuffy .410. At 3.1 lbs it's wonderful to walk and carry in the woods with. I'm shooting #7.5 TSS shot. It was devastating on the two turkeys I shot last year, each was roughly 35 yards away. As I've gotten older, I've been simplifying my hunting. Wish I could say that about my scuba gear!
