I need a turkey gun

[jas60hawk]

At the risk of getting banned, I shoot a Winchester SXP in 20ga with tss and a Burris fast fire red dot. This combo has killed out to 50 yards (by mistake I ranged the wrong tree ). It is relatively light and easy to maneuver. I don’t mind the pump action as I usually don’t have the chance for a second shot. I’m either a DRT or complete miss so no need for a follow up.

I think I might need a turkey gun also. But only for second turkey tags in any season. The first tag has to go to Grandpa's Winchester.

So for a second tag, I'm thinking something light and handy because the hills get steeper and slipperier. I think this narrows things down pretty quickly to a single shot 12 gauge. Something in the 80-120 yrs old range maybe. Full choke, but not necessarily super long chambers. Something good with 1.25 oz home rolled lead or bismuth loads. Maybe something American, for once.

Any suggestions are welcome.

There's an interesting remington 31 in 16 over on the swap and trade in another forum...

Which forum? Not sure I want a 16, but maybe.
