WHAT IS THE BEST ALL AROUND TURKEY GUN.

What ever you shoot best and are comfortable hunting with. My favorite is an 870 equipped with a deer barrel and adjustable sights. I use an HS Strut Turkey Tube and shoot Federal Flite Control 3" number 5's. I like the pump gun because it will work even full of South Texas grit.

This will probably earn me a lot of flak but I like a Savage 24F12T .223 Remington over a 12 magnum, handloaded 50 grain Winchester soft points over a Federal 2oz load of copper coated 6's. Heavy but versatile and effective. I know, most don't like rifles, but it is legal and yes, ethical. I don't care for inlines but if they're legal in your state and you're doing it ethically, more power to you.

I prefer a 3.5 inch autoloading shotgun. It gives the most range and you have an instant followup shot(s). Mine is a SBE that has been Parkerized flat green. It is deadly way out there with high-density loads. The choke tube is x-full extended Comp-n-choke. I shot a bird 64 yds with it. He had 4 #6 pellets in his head. I thought he was about 55 yds which is what I consider my limit. Can't argue with bang flop-no bird has walked or flew away after a shot with that gun.

I use a Benelli SBE 2, great range and with the 5 chokes they give you with the gun you can pattern it to just about any range (well, within limits) to adjust for your particular set up. I like to set mine up for a long range shot, but you better make sure you're right on if they are in close since that pattern is so tight otherwise you'll be taking home a big bag of nothin.

Despite appearances it's a cold day. Strong winds and temps in the 20s. Skin is off, now it's just a lot of work cutting it up....-
