I'm getting ready to purchase a new turkey gun. I'm currently shooting a Mossberg 835 12 gauge ultra mag but in the last 2 years I've missed 3 turkeys at 4 steps, 6 steps, and 7 steps. I 100% believe that my gun is choked too tight. So after talking to some local turkey experts I found out these guy were having the same problem years ago and now they're all shooting S/S's or O/U 20 gauges. They're basically shooting cylinder with one barrel out to 15 yards, and with the other barrel they're shooting custom turkey chokes patterned at 45 yards with a J-point site to top off the rig.
This makes a lot of sense to me. So now I will own this rig. Here's the question. I need a cheap O/U (I don't like the way a S/S feels) that can handle 10 shells a year of Hevi-shot. Please before everyone starts on me about "you get what you pay for" understand that before I even buy the gun I'm $550 in the hole with a J-point site and a hydro dip. Besides who in their right mind spray paints a $2,000 shotgun.
Here's my short list. They're all single trigger guns:
Stevens, Tri-star, Mossberg, and CZ (these are starting to get out of my price range). Stoeger was on there but I was told that you couldn't set which barrel you want to go off (apparently the bottom barrel always goes off first).
I look forward to hearing back from you guys. Everyone on here seems very knowledgeable an by the middle of next week I hope to be ordering a new shotgun.
