H&R Topper Deluxe turkey chokes and loads

[carolinahunter53]

   Hi folks , new to this forum.
I've seen some great info already. I just spent the last 2 hrs. looking . My head hurts from reading so much.
I just bought a 12ga Topper Deluxe to use as a turkey gun. Does anybody else use this gun ? If so , how do you like it ?
     My question is (are)........
 1...What choke seems to work best ? (Indian Creek , Jellyhead , Tightwad , etc)
 2...which shells seem to pattern best ?
 3...I saw a post about epoxying rifle sights on . Does that seem to hold up ok ?
 
 I know I will have to find what works with my particular gun but maybe your help with save me a little cash in these trying economic times.


         Thanx , Jimmie

I use a TDC for my turkey hunting.   Currently my setup consists of an HS Strut Undertaker .665 choke and Winchester Supreme 3" shells tossing 1 3/4 oz of copper-plated #5's.   Patterns very well out to 40.   



I'm purchasing a Kicks Gobblin' Thunder for it this year and am going to try the Winchester Xtended Range shells in #5.   From what I hear, this combo punches dime-sized holes in the paper at 50 yards!!

Thanks.   Won it two years ago at my NWTF Banquet.   It was the JAKES Gun of the Year for 2007.     

I've added some weight to the stock and a SIMS slip on recoil pad.    She points real nice, and, with an MOD choke makes a heck of a singles trap gun.
