Thanks. Hope I don't have to resort to this.

3 shots. All 3 were center left. Will definitely try at 40 with actual hunting ammo.

20 yard shots using Rem LRE #6 shot. Top barrel looks to be fine. Its a little high aiming dead on blue mark but I aim where the feathers meet the waddle. The bottom barrel center of pattern is left. Gonna try some #7.5 High brass loads later on to see if that helps. Any other suggestions for bottom...

Yes they did Gil. Its' a Marlin Model 90.

Prayers lifted.

I have this same gun in a 20 gauge and it was also made in 1957.

Not yet but I plan on it real soon. I have a Savage 94b single 16ga I hunt with and that full barrel has an outstanding pattern @ 40.5 with TSS #9.

I'm thinking TSS #9 top barrel for those 40.5 shots and High brass lead #7.5 bottom barrel for the closer encounters.

Picked up a 1957 J.C. Higgins O/U 16 gauge yesterday. It has double triggers and shoulders very well. Hopefully both barrels will shoot straight and I'll have one more to chase them with next spring.

These were made from wild cherry.

One of the best threads I have come across in a while. Everyone has their on definition/opinion of who is or what makes a great turkey hunter. These type discussions usually turn into a pissing contest unfortunately. After 30+ years of chasing these unpredictable birds I have learned that I can neve...

Here are a few more.

Here's one I made last night out of Termite Wild Cherry.

I have removed the lip stops from mine and it that works better for me. I also remove the tape from diaphragm calls and that works better for me as well.

REX trumpets. I own 3.

Amboyna Burl with Delrin mouth piece.

TSS #9.5 13/16 ounce load.

Nope. Just some camo tape from Academy. My youngest son likes it best. Top left pic is his 1st longbeard at age 6. Bottom pics are is 1st bird (a jake) @ age 5.

Love these little killers

Bought an old Ben R. Lee 45sp record 2 years ago at a garage sell for $1.

Benelli M1 24" barrel with a non ported .562 choke. Federal heavyweight #7 or TSS#9.

Carter was all upset about it. He doesn't like it when his brother does something he didn't do.

Seems like I get to hunt with my oldest son less and less each spring. These days he is more interested in baseball and girls more than turkeys. However, I did manage to get him out Saturday morning and he connected on a good one. Bird only gobbled once on the roost around 6:30 but that was enough t...

You should give New York a try. I hope to some day. It seems like every spring my schedule fills up with kid baseball and this spring my 7 y/o is playing baseball & soccer. I tried AL for a few days but only heard 1 bird gobbling & by the time I closed the distance to the ridge he was on he...

But if I was I guess may favorite team would have to be the #SPURS.
