Turkey gun for wife

[peterk123]

Done. Going fancy though. Mossberg semi auto. Going to put a red dot on it for her too. Thanks for all the comments. Very helpful!

.410 with TSS seems like a great option for you!

TSS out of Rossi Tuffy .410 topped with a red dot.

If you went 20ga, keep in mind weight of the shot load and velocity equal recoil. Federal has a low recoil load, shop around some of the smaller ammo companies, salt creek, burgess creek, fox trot and look for a 1 3/8th oz load, Apex has one in 2 3/4 for sure as well.

Sub 1100 fps will be a good gauge for recoil as well.

I hand load a 1 5/8th oz load and in a light 20ga I wouldn't have a kid or small lady shooting it, it's quite stiff on recoil even in a gas semi auto!

Any TSS turkey load will get you 40yds with 9s!

Stevens 301 Turkey 410 with a red dot and TSS

This is the gun I bought for my wife. Silver Eagle Alpha 2 12ga. It’s a M2 clone. I won it on auction for almost nothing.

She duck hunts with a black eagle 2 so I figured this would be a good because of the controls are the same as her benelli.

I went with 12ga because she can handle the recoil and is the easiest to find in my neck of the woods ammo wise.

I just bought the Stevens 410. Putting a Sig red dot on it. This is for my daughter but I may just get one for me as well but in a pump or auto. Freakin NM passed a law last year that makes us wait 7 days from purchase to pick the gun up. waited 6 days for the gun to come in to ffl then another 7 days after that!
