Let's see those turkey guns!

Got an 1187 Supermag 3.5” to try out this year.
My other gun is a Mossberg 500A that has been around since the 1980’s. It’s going to be hard for me to leave it at home.

Pics of the new Savage 301 that’s on order are soon to come.
I've been looking for a Winny 1300 Turkey for a long time and finally found one at a reasonable price.
Those 1187's are great guns! I will have one someday.
Another outstanding gun!
I have a 11-87 Supermag as well but mine has a 28" barrel and is in the standard wood/blue configuration. I'd love to find a 24" or shorter barrel for it. I've thought about buying a spare 28" barrel and cutting it down to 22" and then threading it to accept Remchokes. I actually have a 21" fully rifled slug barrel for it and a bunch of Lightfield IDS 3.5 inch slugs. Seems kind of a waste since I don't plan on getting attacked by a grizzly anytime soon lol.
You might be able to find a 22” barrel, that’s how long the barrel on mine is. I actually prefer a longer barrel, around 28”, on a turkey gun. They are a lot easier to pattern and aren’t as picky about choke/load combos. Sometimes, backing off on the choke’s constriction will make patterning the short barreled turkey guns a lot easier.
