I have more than one choice when it comes to choosing a turkey gun to use this spring, but my favorite is my Winchester 21 3" 20 gauge which I bought a couple years ago. I ordered a two barrel set, the longer barrels are 32 inch choked .045 left and .045 right. And no, after you look at the picture of the muzzle, the barrels have not been cut. They are regulated to pattern with modern Federal tungsten super shot #9, or the like, at just about any distance, or at least until gravity takes the load into the ground. I knocked a gobbler stone dead at 52 yards last year.

A few months ago I made a trade with a fellow from central PA for his (departed) Dad's old turkey gun. It is a 16 gauge Winchester model 97 (1942) 28" full choke. He gave me a couple boxes of shells to include Remington high brass #6. I never met his Dad but intend to keep the tradition going.

I have 5949, a 10 ga D also with the recessed hinge pin. It's the one on the first page with the big longbeard.
Mine also is on the 1866 and 1875 patents. . .

I prefer #6 shot for Tennessee gobblers. Very effective with properly choked gun.

I was hoping to go to North Carolina this spring and try to get one with my new 28 gauge Flintlock, with a Parker as a back up. Looks like if I go this year I will need to hunt near home in Rhode Island and they don’t have a muzzleloader season(or option).
I will use my tight choked #2 frame 10 gauge hammer gun, with 32” twist barrels. If I can shoot a swan with it...it should do well with turkeys too... |

Mine, its going to be a Ithaca nid super 10 loaded with 1 1/2 oz of 6 s. This gives the patterns i have found in all my 10 s over the years.
Now if the state doesn't close the season with this flu thing going on. We have to go to a checking station to check in our birds and deer too. Good luck Scott

I'm planning on borrowing Bill Murphy's 40-inch barrel 8 ga. Davenport. We'll talk, Bill.
