If I want more shot I can step up a gauge or two .

I read there was a company a few years back producing a 16 gauge 3" .
Didnt you know all gauges beside the 410 are obsolete now because of TSS shot lol ? Thats what I heard a turkey hunter say one day at the local FFL .

Does it have to be a o/u ? theres quite a bit of options these days for a decent 28 gauge .

I’m pretty particular about what I buy . And my war against Wild Turkey that wasn’t in a bottle ceased twenty years ago .

Well I dont think you could go wrong with a Browning or Beretta o/u , 95% of the guns that visited the plantation were one of those two and the occasional eccentric would bring a nice sxs .
