Not a Turkey Gun?
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.
