I think he worked something out with Hookedspur.

Hope everyone had some good hunting this year.

Re: WTT For 410 Hulls

Hard to believe with all the talk about needing components, especially the highly coveted Federal hulls, that no one has any 410 hulls to trade. I did see some on that auction website for $100 a bag and some others for $25 for 25…. Seems the 410 hulls have gone the way of the federal hull in popular...

WTT For 410 Hulls

Figured this might help someone out here. I got a buddy looking for some 410 hulls and he has some of the 20 ga components folks been looking for. 20 ga TPS wads, 20ga fiocchi and federal hulls. 12 ga components as well. Or I'm willing to just buy them at a reasonable price. Looking for a couple hun...

Re: New Turkey Gun Sight- which do you prefer?????

A little more expensive, but I recently purchased an Eotech EFLX due to robust housing design and no reflective coating on the lens.

I have not mounted or hunted it yet.

Re: Red or green?

I prefer the green.

However, I recently bought a red Eotech eflx because there is no reflective coating on the glass AND the housing seems very robust.

Re: 12 vs 20 - 16?

Not trying to be argumentative, but unless your 870 28 gauge is built different than mine, our definitions of “light as a feather” are not calibrated equally. Mine weighs in at almost 6.5 lbs. I wouldn’t even call a 20 gauge “light” until you hit that 6lb or sub 6 lb mark. My 28 ga 870 express with...

RockinL, I haven't seen this mentioned here so I will throw in a couple more cents If you are concerned with weight you can go down even one step further and still be PLENTY capable at killing turkeys to distances much further than we should shoot A 28ga is capable of shooting a 1-5/8oz payload.

Re: 12 vs 20 - 16?

I’d strongly consider that Weatherby Element turkey 20 with the 22” barrel. From what I can tell, it looks like a clone of the older benelli’s that I love. It’s half the price of a retay or Franchi or Benelli. Which Benelli does it look like? From the videos I’ve watched, the action looks similar t...

Re: 12 vs 20 - 16?

I have been hunting with a 16 gauge this year and handloaded tss. Pound for pound it really isn't much lighter than a 12 gauge, if at all. But with proper setup the 16 gauge is very lethal. I think the 20 and 28 gauges offer the best benefits with tss loads, lighter guns and lighter recoil. I admit...

Re: 12 vs 20 - 16?

Welcome to the forum. Light 20’s are great. There’s some nice 16’s out there too, and to be honest, the 16’s are easier to find components and they are equally as impressive as a 20. It can be harder to find a lighter 16, but there are plenty 20 ga options. Thank you for the welcome, I appreciate i...

Re: 16 ga Compact 870 weight

I’m using a Trulock choke. I think it’s overchoked, but I’ve had good luck with it. It doesn’t have a tight core. I’m not a fan of the IC chokes and super hot core patterns.
