Do you own a 10 gage?

came close

Nearly bought a BPS 10, customized as a stubby 22" turkey gun. But......when the time came, I realized the thing weighed a TON and I passed. Humping that monster after a rambling gobbler all morning, or hanging it on target at a hung bird 15-20 min would be impossible, for me anyhow.
 
AYA 10 ga double,32 in barrels,F&F, pull the second trigger and they both go off...you only do this once and always remember it!!!:D 12.5 lbs. Very tight full chokes, have knocked down birds at well over 50 yds.Manufactured in late 50's I think.After all these years and many rounds fired it still locks up tight. After a few shots fired a shot of Crown helps the shoulder.
 
i have an american arms turkey special side by side,,with choke tubes i bought new,,26" barrels

i have had it for prolly 25 years maybe longer,,it has taken many turkeys,,couple coyotes,,i don't know how many crows,,they just can't seem to fly high enough,,lol

a buddy of mine used to give me stuff about it,,and he had a IIRC beretta silver hawk sxs in 3",,you talk about a shoulder breaker,,it kicked TWICE as hard as my 10,,,i only shot it once and told him if it were mine i would drive it into the ground and leave it in the woods

i think it is all about how the gun is set up

i really love my 10ga.,,,,it IS a killing machine,,it has NEVER let me down,,and the range is better than a 12,,,this gun patterns at 60 yrds,,in a 30" circle,,96% with no.6 buffered copper plated federal premium,,,i have never had to chase a turkey,,or anything for that matter,,it is a death hammer,, i killed a coyote one time at 70yrds stepped off with 1 shot #2 copper,,and he never so much as twitched,,DRT

you guys don't know what you are missing,,the big 10 aint dead,,just sleeping till you guys wake up,,,lol,,,new fangled sissy a$$ 12ga. stuff,,why that's like sayin black powder is goin away too,,don't see that happenin anytime soon ,,neither,,lmao

in my opinion,,it will out the 3 1/2 12ga.,,how ever you want to stack the cards,, and i don't want to hear they don't kick,,full house 3 1/2 12ga. wheeeew

well that my .02 YMMV
