I bought a 301 20 gauge, a choke, a reflex sight, and a box of TSS a few years ago. I was going with the lightest option I could find. I put it on the scale, compared it to my 12 gauge 870 and decided to stick with old faithful. I sold it to a member here, but kinda wish I would've kept it. The biggest property I hunt is 420 acres so I'm not walking 10 miles a day carrying a gun. I get it though.
My thoughts exactly. Makes me hurt to even think about it.
My 20 ga autoloader holds 5 rounds.8 shells plus what's in the gun??? You are going to war with those timber chickens!
And the fun begins soon as it's time to dust it off and send a few downrange to pattern....I have a dentist appt in a couple weeks anyway...lolIt seems we have something in common...
Sounds like an ideal outcome, imo they shouldn't be too easy.
Yep. Try it and see.
Yep! gluttons for punishment!
Very true. And some men are smarter and more efficient than others.
I get it. I wouldn't want to shoot one if I was a scrawny 150 lb. Man either.
Hell, several spots I hunt, I load with straight 7.5 "dove loads". Most all my setups are within 30 steps. If I get lined up on his neck, he is hard pressed to walk out of that pattern. Mines a 24in barrel, with the stock x full choke.
Me neither. Nor do I want to shoot one anymore at 6'1", 210lbs. Especially since a 20 gauge will kill them perfectly dead as far as I care to shoot. But some people need a little extra range, I suppose.
I'm messin with ya man. I make fun of 9mm and 243 shooters too
No turkey takes a tightly choked load of at least 1 1/8 oz of #7.5 inside of 35 yds and comes out alive. It don't take a cannon to kill one.Still work my old mossy oak treestand ulti mag into the rotation each year. I hunt 3in, as I have found they pattern better than the 3.5's out of my gun. Win 6's and Fed 7's are extremely deadly out to 40 steps. I might not be as cool as the tss fanboy f#gs, but I will always be more than efficient as long as I do my part. At 6.2lbs, I'm not to much of a p#ssy to still tote it either.
