[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 3100874, member: 95733"] I most sincerely appreciate your concern about the very significant recoil of a 12ga 3.5" 2.5oz turkey load. But to me personally recoil is not an issue and with my boys both now in collage, each needing cars, paying for insurance, gas maintenance and tires new laptops, suits for internship interviews etc etc ect I just can not justify buying new 28ga turkey guns for my sons and I as we all turkey hunted this year to gether and I was the only one who didn't get one. $220 for TSS shells is quite a bit easier to afford than $1k-$1500 for two new 28ga shotguns we only ever will use for turkey hunting when we have dedicated turkey shotguns that work superbly well. BUT If enough companies start making more affordable 28ga pump shotguns designed specifically for turkey hunting and have drilled and tapped receivers then yes I will give them a serious look as my 870 ESM weighs essentially 10lbs with scope, sling and three 3.5" 2oz shells, but the darn thing absolutely utterly hammers turkeys at all ethical ranges. My Benelli SN weighs only 20oz less. And when your hauling butt Especially if its sunny and >70-80*+ out and trying to to get out in front of a Tom or three walking away from you a 7.5lb shotgun is much preferred VS a 10lb one. [/QUOTE]
