3 1/2 12ga got me my limit on turkeys
« on: May 06, 2013, 11:52:16 PM »
Gun did great with the new ghost ring sight i made. First bird tried to sneak by me and only had a couple seconds to spot, aim and shoot. 2nd bird was a big jake who was with 3 other jakes following a hen who came to my purring from about 300yrds off. longest hour of my life. i can get impatient at times :o

Congrats on the turkeys Scratch, I have a 3 1/2" H&R turkey model 12ga, but have never fired anything other than a 2 3/4" through it, mine has the 24" barrel and fiber front bead. What shells are you shooting through yours?  .DT
