Oddball shotgun for turkeys?

[Hnthrdr]

The Stevens 301 is a fun little gun. You feel like you're carrying a toy. I paid more for the red dot that I put on it, than I did for the gun.

Haha same here, it was some crazy deal like 120 bucks out the door, so I said why not, those boxes of 5 tss shells are not cheap though haha

My different Turkey gun is a Keltec KS-7 pump... Took off the carry handle and installed a Picatinny rail, got the choke adapter and am running a website headhunter...
Its a Killer!!
I get all kinds of crazy looks when hunting with it.
Definitely Different!!

I picked up a 410 AR15 upper from bear creek. I didnt really run for crap, but it had a 3" chamber, so I was using it as a single shot. Killed a couple toms with TSS with it, and it was a really nice, light handling gun in the field, but I sold it and will go back to the conventional shotgun until I get my other project sorted out.

Oddball?
Probably not "that" odd, but I love 'em!

Win M12 16 gauge - Hi-Velocity 1oz #7.5's
Per the S/N, it's and early 1920's make.

Rem "Sportsman" 16 gauge - Hi-Velocity 1 oz #7.5's.
Remington began making (selling?) the "Sportsman" in 16 gauge in 1932. They began with S/N S200000. The S/N on this gun is S2004**. It's one of the first 500 made. It was presumably manufactured in 1931 and only released for sale in 1932.

Also, I've taken turkeys with a scoped S&W M48 w/8 3/8" bbl and a 9" Ruger "Single-Six" w/mag cylinder and iron sights!

....talking ammo....?
I refuse to purchase turkey specific ammo. Won't buy 3" or 3.5" ammo. Just standard, 2.75" ammo with at least 1 1/8 oz of plain Jane old lead #8's!
A good friend gave me a Mossberg bolt action .410 that I bought ten TSS shells ($60!) for! Won't be buying anymore of THAT!
I had a good friend who would come turkey hunt with me. In the 6 years we hunted together before he passed, he never killed a turkey with one shot! Tried very hard to get him to shoot #8's. Every time he came up, he would have the "latest, greatest" turkey ammo!
Copper plated shot!
Duplex shot loads!
Long Beard!
Super mag 3.5" ammo!
He would watch me kill a tom at 35 yards with one shot and say, "You're just lucky!"

I kill turkeys just fine with standard, 2.75" ammo with #8 shot.
