Title: Been wanting a 12ga
Post by: HaMeR on August 15, 2011, 07:43:06 AM
for some time now for Turkey & a little crow hunting. Well it seems that a gun shop about an hour away from me decided to go & have a 12 months same as cash deal and then they put it out over the radio station that I happen to listen to a lot.  :doh2:  Now what's a guy to do right??  :innocentwhistle:

Pics will be up as soon as I get her home.  :eyebrow: Supposed to be in Wednesday.  :yoyo:

 :yoyo: :yoyo: :yoyo: I knew I could count on you guys for steering me in the right direction on this!!  :laf: :laf:

That's why I ordered it yesterday afternoon. No more turkeys will get a free pass due to the brush ever again.  :biggrin:

Dang Glenn, Do You mean that this is your first 12 gauge? Standard practice is to have at least 4 or 5.  :eyebrownod: cc

Congrats on the new bang stick.

But how can you not have one already? I have 3 12ga a couple 20's and a 410. Thinking about adding another 410 in a pump configuration

Yep it's my 1st 12 bore.  :biggrin:  It just seems like the little 20 always did everything I asked of it. Until this past Spring when I had to let a big ol Tom walk away due to the brush. I didn't feel comfortable with the shot that was presented. Next time I'll drop the HaMeR on him.  :eyebrow:

All that shiny wood is gonna flare ducks, spook coyote, and tell them turkeys where you at. Better send it down south way and let me shoot skeet with it. :eyebrownod:

 :alscalls: ! Jim!!  :nono:  Not this one she won't!! I let her hold it & look at it for a second or two then grabbed it back from her & took off running to hide it.  :biggrin:

Thanks Chet. I'm gonna wrap it when I use it. I'll take the wrap off if I'm not gonna use it for an extended period.
