Turkey Guns

[Dakota]

Anyone ever hunt turkeys with a double barrel, particularly a 12 gauge o/u?

Never used one but they would be just as effective as any shotgun with the right choke/load combo!

I agree unless both go off at the same...I hurt just thinking about that.

I let my wife use my Berretta o/u. She's killed severalgobblers with it. Full & mod chokes. I put the full choke in the bottom barrel & have it selected as the 1st barrel fired. That way it's recoil is more into her shoulder. It can shoot 3" shells but we use 2 3/4"-----mainly because my 870 only shoots 2 3/4". I don't want to think of which shells to use @ 5AM. I believe in the KISS method. Keep It Simple Stupid. CB

My dad also use a double barrel----it's a sXs.

Double barrel guns work. CB

Yep, I use a sXs 10 ga...

Yep all the time when not using my bow. I have bagged many using my Charles Daly O/U. I put in full and IM chokes. I use 2 3/4 inch, #4 shot and it is effective to 25 - 30 yards.

I killed this one this fall at 30 yards


this one last fall


This one is when I loaned my gun to a kid to hunt with.


another with the daly


Good luck to all

I use a primos jelly head choke in my super nova and would recomend it to anyone.

Thanks for the info all! I'm thinking about pairing it with either Federal or Hevi-Shot loads.

Yeah I have the same gun...I like 3.5" Federal Mag-Shok turkey loads #4 shot with the factory full choke..I have killed 2 birds this fall with that combo..Rem and Win shells are prob just as good but I have better luck with Federals..good luck!

[Jake Lake]

Those are some good lookin' Iowa birds you got there!!

I killed my first turkey with a Browning 3 1/2" O/U.

I use my remington 332 o/u . I screwed two turkey chokes on it . Works great .

[TennesseeTurkey]

I've never seen anybody using one but its really not going to matter if you can call him in close enough to reach out and grab him anyway lol

[woodsman2230]

I've never hunted with an o/u but I did kill my first turkey with a Fox Sterlingworth 12ga. 2 3/4" at 5 steps.
