Post New Turkey Gun ***Updated with Pattern Pics***
After looking at the ProHunter Turkey guns for a while I decided to finally get one. I had to order it and it just came in this afternoon. I have not shot it yet, but here's the setup:

-TC Encore ProHunter 12 gauge Turkey Gun w/ 24" barrel
-Quake The Claw Contour Sling
-Nikon TurkeyPro w/ BTR scope
-DNZ Game Reaper one piece scope mount
-Indian Creek Black Diamond Strike .660 choke tube
-Hevi-Shot 3" 2 oz. #7 shotgun shells

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.

I have adjusted the scope since this pattern so that POA=POI.

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.

I really like the turkey pro. It's not the smallest and lightest scope in the world, but the reticle is awesome!
