Not a Turkey Gun?

[Garry L Gordon]

I picked up this nice PH this past weekend. It is built on a #1 frame and has a (much coveted by me) fishtail lever. It's nearly 4 inch chokes are .016/.031. The gun weighs 7 lbs. 5 oz. -- probably not the quintessential turkey gun, but on a whim I took it out this morning to the farm. Within about 2 minutes of fly down this Tom strutted into a 1 oz. charge of number 6 shot fired from the left barrel. Sometimes things just work out, especially if you know you have limitations.

i would say you have a great turkey gun...i like those chokes....nice gun and gobbler...charlie

He must of heard you had a new gun and wanted to come see it. Have a friend that wants to start turkey hunting with a 410. I think your gun is more of turkey gun then that.

Love it!

Nice job. At just after daylight this morning there were 3 Toms strutting their stuff behind the house. Season will be open when I return from the Southern and I have hopes of joining you Garry in the ranks of successful turkey hunters with a Parker. Congrats !

[Mills Morrison]

Nice job! I have a similar PH that I take turkey hunting.

[Reggie Bishop]

Imagine how dead that turkey would be if you used a real turkey gun!

[Gerald McPherson]

Nice and easy.

Good job Garry. You can't help but love a #1 frame 12ga. I sure love mine.

Richard,

I also really like those #1 frame 12s. I have an all original GH 12 on a #1 frame that weighs 7 lbs. and it's research letter confirms the weight (with its 30 inch Damascus barrels and very full chokes). I often wonder about the guys who ordered these guns and what they had in mind for them.

Good flying!

I guess they just wanted to avoid cripples and make sure their birds were dead when they hit the ground.

I used to think I couldn't hit anything with full chokesbut I shocked myself at Addieville last week when I shot my GH 12 with .042" and .043" chokes and shot one of my best SC scores ever.
