Favorite turkey gun/load

[Barnes Ridge Rambler]

My gun is a Benelli SuperNova with the steadygrip. First one Gameliel Shooting Supply ever sold. I drove up with my Pa before the 2005 season started with the intent to buy a Mossberg tactical turkey. But the Benelli was leaning up beside it for $10 more. It came home with me. I soon there after went to Bass pro looking for a gobblin thunder. They were sold out. So I ended up with a .655 Jelly Head. I then bought me some Nitro 4x5x7 hevishot for $4 each (wish they still were that cheap!) and it patterned ridiculously good. I switched to hevishot 13 after that and was very pleased. This year I switched to the Longbeard XR #5 and couldn't be more pleased with the performance or the price. I've since learned that all the Longbeard XR are manufactured 30 minutes north of me

The ol stoeger m3500 with hevi shot choke is pretty wicked with the #6 long beard 3.5's

I have a CVA M/L 12 ga that I shoot 2 oz of mixed #5-#6 over 105 gr 777. It hurts to pull the trigger on that thing.

Remington 870 SPS-T with rhino choke and nitro hevishot 4 x 5 x 7 with an eotech sight. Its a turkey killing machine. Also I love carrying my wifes encore. Its so light and easy to handle if they made the encore in 3 1/2 that would be my utlimate gun.
