Benelli M1 Super 90 with 18.5" barrel. The choke adds another 1". Bushnell Trophy red-dot. Shooting 3" 1 5/8 oz. #6 Hevi-shot. This year I'll hunt 4th season in Iowa, but will spend probably the 3rd week in NM hunting turkeys and working on a friend's under-construction log home. The scope bracket is black not the blue that shows in the pic below. Total length is 41".

I has a Full choke screw in choke tube..

Have taken Turkeys up to 40 yards with setup..

Second Choice is my OLD TIMER.
Mossberg 5500 12 ga. . I use Remington duplex loads 4x6's shot loads.
I mounted rifle sights on the rib and have a older Turkey choke tube added on.
Camo is my own painting.

Have taken Turkeys up to 45 yards with this setup

I have 2 favorites

(1) Mossberg 500 12ga .665 kicks & Win. SuperX #6 This is a great shooter up to 45yds.

(2) Rem. 870 20ga. .565 Tru-Glow & Win. #5 shoots super tight Patterns up to 35 yds.

I really like shooting the 20ga better than any other Turkey gun that I have ever had. And probb. have killed more turkeys with it than any other also.
Thinking about getting a Knight TK2000 to try for next year !

Some fine lookin guns there!!!

Im still carryin the same Browning Gold 12 3.5 Stalker which i had 2 years ago when I started this thread!! Likely a Record for holding a gun for Loggy!! :lol:

Myself I use a Mossberg 535 with 3" Winchester 6's. This year however I am using a Bowtech General with Easton ST Epics and Rage two blade broadheads.

My wife has just bought herself a Knight TK2000 to use. I can't wait to develop loads for her, should be here next week.

Don,
I really like that O/U you got there. Did it come camoed up like that?
 
I use a White Tominator 100gr clearshot 3" pink slit cup filled with #5 Magnum shot and a foam over shot card. Spanks em hard out past fourty.
 
Just added this 870 SPS to the collection... Got it from Buds and it came with an additional cantelever slug bbl... Great combo with the Knoxx stock and sims recoil pad.

She's topped with a Tru-Glo turkey red dot and wears a Hevi-Shot choke and so far prefers cheap Winchester Supreme #6's in 2 1/4 oz fare.

 
Turkey Gear

Here's my info:

Mossberg 835, 12 ga., 24" ported bbl.
Factory Ulti-Full turkey choke
Fiber optic front & rear
Federal Mag Shock Flitecontrol 3", 2 oz., #6 shot

Good luck this spring!
 
I'll probable get razed for this but....

My turkey gun for this upcoming season is a Spanish made norica storm .22 mag pellet rifle. One pop at 20-30 yards in the noggin and I'll have turkey dinner this year....if I can get em in close enough.

Hard to believe but its kosher with the DFG here in California. I plan on harvesting some bunnies/squirrels with it too.

Der old dependable 20 ga JC Higgins bolt shotgun. Gots a prolly choke kinda deal on de mussle. It light and can carry for miles and no tire out. It shoot dem W-W slick shells good too. Like dem #5 bests but 4 is OK. W
 
Remington 870 Super Mag, 12 gauge, full camo, TruGlo Gobble Stopper Extreme .665, 3" Hevi-Shot 6s
 
White Thunder. Bought it used for $150. Full Choke. CVA wad that I cut pedals into. It tappers so you can load through a full choke. I put a card under and over the wad. 1.5 ounces of #4. I forgot how much powder I used. Only Turkey hunted with the gun one year to prove to my dad I could kill one with it. I use the gun one time a year to squirrel hunt. I love it for squirrel hunting.
