They're one of the coolest looking guns ever made , I bet the 20 is sweet !!!

So I guess a late '40s Winchester 1897 is right out, then? I knew last week when the tella explained that .270 win and the 7-08 are neither adequate Alabama whitetail rifles that I have a lot to learn.


Used to be a lifeguard, until that blue kid got me fired.

My main gun is a Retay Gordion 12g with the 24” barrel. It’s been tried and true the last 3 seasons and I couldn’t be happier.

My secondary that I carry just about anytime I hunt with someone else is a youth 870 20 gauge. Got a collapsible, AR-15 style stock and grip and had it dipped in bottomland at Jay’s Hydrographics…..it’s a MEAN machine.

The only other gun I’ve thought about is an over/under but don’t really need it. Don’t mean I won’t get one though lol

I know I’m weird but lite weight sub gauges with short barrels just don’t sit as steady/still on my knee as my 11-87, I call her Diana Ross. When those 3 dots get lined up we playing for keeps. She loves mag blends and any kind of TSS as long as it isn’t the junk Apex tried to give us when they were starting out

The hardest I’ve ever been kicked while shooting a turkey was with a ruger red label 28ga that had the straight “English style” stock. No lie

This year my main go to will be a mossberg sa-28 tactical. Shooting fox trot 8.5x 9,s. Back up will be the remington 870 20 ga. I found a 21 inch barrel for it aboutv5 years ago. It's a shooter with the apex 9's. If I feel real froggy I'll take the Steven's 301 410 shooting
Fox trot 9.5x 10.


if i hadnt taken up hunting i might have became a juvenile delinquent or worst taken up GOLF

These are both Remington 870 20 gauge guns my buddy & I modified for tss guns back before tss was common. We both still use them, and still shoot our own tss shells.
