Ultimate Turkey Gun

[bitesize]

Now with nothing to do but think of next year, it’s time to build a new gun. If you had to build your dream turkey gun, what would it be?

I’ve already got a Benelli M2 24” 20ga
Remington 870 compact 20ga

Thinking about a .410 or maybe time to get a 12ga.

Gun will get the Rob Roberts treatment and perhaps a Trijicon RMR.

Hard to beat the $200 Stevens single shot with a Burris fast fire 3 or vortex venom.

There’s nothing to build. Just buy a 20 gauge 11-87 and you have the ultimate everything gun. Tough as nails and will cycle anything you put through it. Those MOFO’s run like sewing machines.

[ShortMagFan]

That benelli is hard to beat if it throws a good pattern. Put a red dot on it, get it dipped and feel like you built your ultimate turkey gun

[wskinner]

perhaps a Trijicon RMR.

You weren’t kidding when you said Ultimate

[PharmHunter]

Only thing cooler than what you've got is a M1 . Aside from of those just build another one of those two you've already got a little differently.

I do like the Tristar 410. 28 Gauge is another option for something different. I have no desire to ever tote anything bigger than a 20 again.

Y’all must be hunting out of blinds over food plots are something fuckin with scopes on turkey guns. I run and gun in all types of habitat. I wouldn’t get a shot off half the time if I had a scope or optic on my gun. Those fuckers come in on me in the most fucked up spots they can. All I have time to do is get my shit up, get the barrel half way straight and boom! Flop, flop, flop! The last turkey I killed was just over a ridge in some hardwoods. He was maybe 100-150 yards away by the sound of it when I set up. I thought word, got my shit up, called, he would gobble straight out in front. Called again, gobble, closer, straight out in front. I’m down on the gun with safety off waiting for that white head to stick up. I catch movement in my peripheral to the left and this motha standing there like 15 yards looking a me like I’m crazy. I can’t move. He starts walking off, goes behind a tree, steps out, boom! I sho didn’t have time to be lookin through no damn optics!

Actually you had plenty of time, you just don’t know what you’re talking about, aiight?

I’d rather have that 20 gauge double in your profile pic for turkeys than a damned jazzed up piece of plastic with a scope!

4 birds in 2 states this year, not a one in a blind or field. All through Trijicon RMR. Red dot is primarily for what you are talking about- quick target acquisition.

Nobody in this thread is talking about a Scope except you.

Put a speed feed stock on that M2 then put your choice of dot (trijicon, Burris, vortex). Send it to Rob for cerakote/dip and all of his magic.

1-5/8 oz 9’s. Shoot rabbit man when he pops out from behind his beagles, just to prove a point.

[wskinner]

Speed feed? Planning on taking out the entire flock?

Franchi affinity 20 with a custom fit Weatherby sa459 pistol grip stock. Trijicon rmr with a cut down version of the scalarworks mount for the rmr. IC BDS in .562 shooting tss 9s
Thinking of getting the barrel cut or just buying a 24” and keeping the 26.
She’s my Frankenstein and I’m fine with that.

That gun looks like it fell from an alien spaceship.

Sigourney Weaver Aliens?

Any shotgun that will pattern. It ain't rocket science.

How much fitting did you have to do to get that stock to work?

[joshua2]

Used a Dremil to get the shape right and to round off the edges. Made a custom spacer out of aluminum to take up the empty space for the factory stock bolt to be used. It looked pretty dang good when it was still matte black. Once I had everything camoed it looks like it came that way.

Remington SP10. My buddy has one and I’ve hunted with it a few times. It’s a turkey smasher.
