For turkey hunting I like the pistol grip.

My Benelli would kick like a Mossberg 835 with a pistol grip stock but then again I'm just a wimp with those 3 1/2" loads anymore
ever wonder where the white goes when the snow melts??

I shoot both a Benelli M2 with a pistol grip and an 870 with a straight stock. Both 20ga shooting 15/8 oz tss. Love both but usually carry the Benelli. Once I put a FF on the Remington it may get equal time!
Re: Straight Stock or pisto grip?
I very-much prefer a pistol grip for turkeys. It's more comfortable with your gun propped up on a knew when awaiting on those stubborn rascals to show up. However, I often forget to remove it after the season...you ought to see the looks I get when showing up at a sporting clays event with a 20" barreled Benelli M2 that has a pistol grip!
Re: Straight Stock or pisto grip?
Pistol grip for turkey hunting. I switched to this setup last year and wish I'd done it a long time ago, but I'm stubborn like that.

Pistol/SureShot for me. BUT with a SureShot you will probably need something besides the beads to aim with....
“Son, Turkey HUNTING starts at 40yds and in. If you can kill him farther that’s all you’re doing- KILLING. Make him think he’s answering you, call him up, kill him closer-Man! Now that’s what it’s meant to be…” Johnnie Keel ( an Old Pro most never know)

Picked up a Weatherby SA-459 with pistol a few years ago and I love that thing. It's about all I ever want to shoot anymore unless I'm toting the .410 Yildiz. A .410 pistol would be cool and I think I saw Tristar is making one.

Turning a yildiz .410 into a pistol is my next projectFLGobstopper wrote: ↑March 25th, 2019, 10:09 pm Picked up a Weatherby SA-459 with pistol a few years ago and I love that thing.

Pistol grip provides more functionality.

For turkey, pistol grip.
IMO, english straight stock is best suited for wingshooting. Love my matching pair of citori sporters.

I fell in love with her years ago. Dad bought it for a quail gun, slipped on a rock while hunting and split the bottom of the stock. Dowel pinned it and I shot it one year for dove. Haven't put her down since.Turkinator wrote:That 20 of yours is my dream turkey gun! I am watching the gun shows for one!okiefowler wrote: ↑March 27th, 2019, 12:29 pm For turkey, pistol grip.

Something about this gun fits me and I shoot it extremely well. Lots of flying animals have been taken with it.

pistol grip for turkey hunting for me.
I love the Wby 459 and the Remington thumb hole (shur shot I think is what they call it?)

I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have no need for a 30-06, I have a shotgun
