doublebarrel turkey

[skokie]

Hi, thinking of buying a stoeger uplander field-grade for a general use shotgun, i am wondering if anyone has ever used a double with screw in chokes for turkey. If so, at what range? did it suit the job well? Thanks, skokie.

A double is to my mind the perfect turkey gun. I have killed all my turkeys under 15 yards so an X-Full is not needed and can be a handicap.

A double choked X-Full and Modified or similar would be great.

THanks, thats kinda what I figured, thats a great idea, do one barrel modified for closer shots and one barrel x-full for distance. Thank you much, skokie.

Don't listen to him! He is a heretic! He used a pump shotgun! PS doubles aren't bad in a blind

I shoot mine with a Fox A grade from 1910. 30" barrels choked full and full and use Kent tungstun matrix #3. Get close enough, aim right and they die.

I was going to mention making sure you know which barrel is going to fire first, in case you fire your open first and saturate your turkey with pellets, instead of just shooting it's head off.

I have never had problems with a SXS even in a layout for geese!
