Oddball shotgun for turkeys?

[Boles8]

Anyone using something “different” or that isn’t marketed towards turkey hunting? I used a beretta a300 ultima patrol last year and it was great toting around the woods! Just got me wanting to try something else and was looking for a idea or suggestion for something different.

Any scattergun will kill a turkey. Something "different"? might try a .410 if you haven't. I've used a break barrel single shot thats kind of fun.

Bought a Stevens 410 single shot that is fun to carry around shoots lights out, out to 40 yards with tss but not really something out of the ordinary

Contender 410 in 2 configurations.

The pistol don't get too far out there.

I think a 20ga with 7/8 of lead #8's is pretty odd ball anymore.

I swapped to using a 28g beretta a400 for 90% of my shotgun work. weights 5.2# loaded recoil isn't noticeable and it's more usable than a 410. Put TSS in it and it kills like a 12g

I have been wanting to get a rossi brawler threaded for a choke tube… that could be fun.

I went with a Cva 410 as it was cheaper to buy the whole gun vs a barrel for a T/C or trying to figure out how to mount a red dot. So far it’s 2 for 2.

Citadel Warthog 12ga. Caught on sale at Dunham's for $170. Filed down the receiver then drilled and tapped for a rail and put a vortex sparc on it. Cycles turkey load pretty good.

I have my Dad's old H&R 849 Gamemaster 16 gauge with a poly choke. I killed my first squirrel with it when I was about 10 years old.

It has sat in my safe for decades, but I plan to take it out this spring and attempt to kill a gobbler with it.

I have really been eyeballing one of these for this season. Love me a good lever action. Totally impractical, especially with 2.5”. And not sure how difficult it would be to install a plug.

Not really odd but I borrowed my uncle's old favorite O/U 20ga, Investarm with double triggers, fixed full and Mod. Killed a couple birds with it. He was the reason I started hunting so it was cool to shoot his old gun!

I’ve just “inherited” a 12ga 28” Citori. I’d like to try for spring turkey here in WA. It’s set up for up to 3.5” shells which I’d prefer not to shoot but can anyone recommend a good turkey ammo for it? I assume full choke or do I need an aftermarket turkey choke?

I haven't yet but I really want to get an O/U 20 ga so I can set up a barrel for close birds with lead 6 and a barrel for birds further out with TSS. Is that nonstandard? I don't know.
