Re: New Turkey Gun
Dont see how you can go wrong with that choke and shell combo. Nice looking Thumper you got there. Good luck with it. Let us know how it patterns.

Re: New Turkey Gun
Good deal!!!!! but be careful shooting the #7's in the woods. I like the #5's myself.

Re: New Turkey Gun ***Updated with Pattern Pics***

Re: New Turkey Gun ***Updated with Pattern Pics***
Ryan, how do you like that Turkey Pro? I just ordered one, but it hasn't come in yet. Looks like you have a beautiful setup.
I think those 7's will be deadly plenty far. I got 260 in the 10" with the 3 1/2" out of my 870 with the SSX choke. Next year I'm trying out TSS 8s and 9s.

Re: New Turkey Gun ***Updated with Pattern Pics***
I really like the turkey pro. It's not the smallest and lightest scope in the world, but the reticle is awesome!
