Turkey & Deer Shotgun??? 12ga. barrel or regular Shotgu

[Lawful Larry]

I am in the market for a shotgun for turkey / Deer.  I will also look at the shotgun barrel for my Encore, but don't know of any info on this combo.  Has anyone gone this route?  And if so is it a good idea?  

I like the Encore platform and think the shotgun barrel would make a nice setup for turkey / deer.  So fire away with your ideas or comments please.   :wink:

This is one of two posts on shotgun barrels and no one has any experiences with them???  

I guess no one has got the barrels or just don't want to comment on them.  Which is it?  Are they that bad?

Well I have no personal experience with the Encore as a turkey rig.  But I want to set myself up some day with one.  I think the Encore is a naturally great platform for turkey hunting because of the pistol grip design and the ease of being able to add a bi-pod.  There are others here who own turkey rigs for their Encores and, if I remember, they seemed to like them, if not being a bit heavy in the recoil department (but hey, I just look at it like the gun tapping ya in the shoulder and telling ys to make ONE good shot so you dont need to shoot her again   .)
Im kinda cheap though.  I wouldnt spend the extra cash for the camo bbl, but rather Ill stick with the blued.
