Which turkey gun?

I know this is an old thread, I am pretty new to this board. I have been using a T/C Encore with either a 12ga or 20ga barrel, and a red dot sight. It's dam deadly out to 60 yards with TSS 7 shot size loads. I have two 12 ga & the 20ga Encores set up for my sons when they want to go with me.

Whatever you decide stick with a 20 gauge using TSS ammo. It kills plenty good enough and doesn't knock the snot out of you when you pull the trigger. Good luck on your choice.

Tss or Winchester longboard xr both are top gun stuff tss is effective a little further but extremely expensive

Turkey hunting is not high volume shooting. And compared to other hunting expenses, $10 a shell is cheap for the just about best there is to use! If you don't want to use it, don't. If it wasn't for TSS shot, I'd never consider a 20ga let alone a 410. And I know people use those succesfully with lead shot. This is all what you want to make of it. I don't use TSS to shoot long range, though you sure can. Hard to argue with the pattern densities though, or the penetration from a #9 piece of shot.

I'm just about done setting up another 20ga dedicated turkey gun, another 870. Lightweight, easy to carry and gets the job done! Really looking forward to these spring seasons!

How are you setting them up?

Thanks
