IN NEED OF A GOOD SHOTGUN

[er419]

Looking for a good solid shotgun. Getting into turkey hunting this year and need one just in general. Doesn't matter if it's pump or semi auto. Thanks and much appreciated.

May I please ask - -> why do you need a shotgun ?? --- SAWMAN

I have a Benelli SBE2 for sale - 3.5” turkey loads run great through it and the inertia driven bolt takes the sting out of them (also have a pump 3.5 that will knock you over with them).

Takes the sting out for you - not the turkey.

I believe that Florida is like most states in the southeast - only shotgun for turkey.

Mainly for turkey hunting because that's what I've grown up on using. I've never gotten real into turkey hunting like I have deer, so it's just what I prefer because it's what I know. But I'm always open to suggestions.

Keep it simple. SS/full choke.

Go for the gold - SBE2. Great for anything you want to do and will last forever!

That won’t treat you too well with 3.5” shells and your back to a tree...

I shot a nice bird out west with a 270. They allow rifles/pistols for turkey. Perfect shot entered above the beard and cleaned the insides right out. Breasts were fine.

Savage 94c. Pre serial numbers. Best patterning shotgun I've ever shot. Family heirloom. Finish was shot and the bluing gone. 2 3/4

2 3/4... only all that 3 inch, 3.5 and "magic " shot shells is marketing bs. Use plain old #6 pheasant load.

Picked up a Bereta single made in Italy , a campers gun , barrel will fold even with stock . Redoing wood now . Enjoy while home !

There is an old car saying “there is no replacement for displacement”.

more powder and more pellets are not just BS. There is more more there.

Sure you can kill a turkey with a pheasant load - but you are not going to be taking more than one shot - might as well make it count.

I guess I'm laughing at admitting to using a centerfire weapon to take out game where it's illegal.. you can't teach sense where it doesn't exist.
