New Turkey gun

[kmckinnie]

Yep, bought 2 of them. I’ve been perfectly clear in this thread, and have stated multiple times this is one of the finest shotguns in the world and worth every penny they charge. I think everybody should buy one.

Congrats

Make sure you wear matching camo and we might see you on tv one day.

My $250 Stevenson 20 gauge will kill turkeys just fine.

I’ve gone to several turkey shoots and won more than my fair share. Even then they had scopes. Extended to chokes. That Ol 870 made back in the early 80s ain’t done bad. Got it for about a buck fifty. 30” full choke barrel. I’ve killed deer turkeys hogs ducks and dove with it. Over 40ty years.
This shotgun reminds be of the bow Industry. Each year they come out with the lates and the greatest.
Guess now we have the turkey gun.
The hunting channels are for one thing. Selling products!
Michael Waddell is a turkey calling fool. He don’t no more need that shot gun to kill a turkey. He has a stack of them. But this year you will see him hubting with it. Just before the shot they will do a close up of the turkey track. The gun will be placed on the bird for more shots of it. He will have a logo on a hat and they will show him on a buggy or a truck with the brand name.
He is living the dream !

Guess I need to buy you a hat,

Is there some sort of contest I don’t know about for who can kill a turkey with the cheapest gun?

Of course your $38 Mossberg pump from the pawn shop you bought back in ‘83 will kill a turkey, it’s a shotgun… and it shoots bullets.

 

[transfixer]

I agree. $1700 is a lot of money to throw shot downrange. Seems to me a better use of money would be to find a cheaper shotgun with a choke and ammunition combination that it liked that did a good job. Pretty certain I could do that for a lot less than $1700!

Yes, all of us with common sense could have multiple firearms for that amount of money, if we chose to spend that much, but the same kind of guys that spend $5,000 or more to join a hunting club will buy a gun like that ,, its like when they buy a Range Rover or some other high priced item, they do it for a status thing,

That being said, I still don't blame Waddell for hawking it, its how he makes a living, and I'm sure he didn't fork out $1700 for one of them, he likely outfitted all of those in his close group of buds with one as part of his endorsement deal .

Waddell seemed like a regular guy when I met him, and a good friend of mine is related to T-bone, and has met Waddell a few times, he says he and T-bone are just normal folks, who are living the dream !

I don’t blame him either.

It’s kinda like a guy selling trucks at the Ford dealership. They know what they’re selling ain’t as good as America’s truck but they hawking em so they can feed n cloth little Timmy. And put a roof over little Timmy’s head. And who could blame him for that…

Is that kinda what Waddell’s doing?

(Y’all have fun with that)

Seems like a good design for turkey hunting. I can’t speak on price because everything seems too expensive to me these days!

Something I took away is that it looks and is designed very similarly to my son’s escort youth auto 20 (Turkish) that he worked all last summer for. It was around $400 but has performed flawlessly so far and has made me a fan. I think the escort is gas though.

Yes. Those of us with that line of thinking also prefer to call them in close before blasting. Just because…

We don’t use tss, unless it’s in a smaller gauge. Again, just because.

Good luck this season!

Dang BM, I thought we might could be on the same team! I use TSS in all gauges and still get them close. The cost of shells is insignificant to me after you figure in the rest of it, so why not? Heck, God forbid, he might be running or flying away crippled and that’s the difference in a crying kid and a fat coyote vs a great day.

Good luck to you too, hope you kill a pile of’em.

Brother let me tell you something…

You and I are and will always be on the same team!

Team Buck!

Yea it’s a unwritten contest.
Not really.
But we would love to see your pic with a Tom. That shot gun. And a short story.
I know your chopping at the bit to squeeze off a shot with that new shot gun.
Don’t be shy. We love a good turkey hubting story.

Weatherby Element
Inertia semi auto loader
Comes camo or black synthetic or a wooden finish. 700 to maybe 900. In that area. Light and slim built. Different barrel Lengths.
Just saying. Shop around if in the market.

Just checked with Dahlonega Gold and Pawn’s online store and a Weatherby Element turkey model in 20 or 12 gauge is $640. I’m not really looking for a new shotgun but it certainly has me interested. Looks like a good option.

I didn’t want to say the low side of price. I seen over a hundred leave a gun store. Not one bad complaint.

 

[kmckinnie]

I picked up the over & under 20 Weatherby. Pretty good gun. Also got my grandson the Tri star O & U 20 ga. We shot a few dove and en joyed. He killed his first turkey with his also.

They are regular folks , I live a mile from T-Bone and have met them both a few times . Really down to earth country boys that are good at making a living doing what they love to do .

I don’t have the gun in the video, and I don’t plan on buying it.
