This. 12 gauge H&R, factory dipped, with a .660 JH choke and front/rear fiber optic sight added by Sumtoy. If I could change one thing about it, I should've asked Sumtoy to take 3 or 4 inches off the barrel.

That's a tough one to answer! I would probably have to go with a winchester 1300 nwtf 12ga 22" barrel. It's been my bread and butter gun for 29 years. Many animals have met their demise to that gun.

Well...if I’m limited to only one, then make it a punt gun.

I would probably stick with my BPS. I like playing around with other guns, though. I'm trying out a new M2 this year, but I wouldn't complain if I HAD TO switch back to my BPS.

This one wins so far but it's not by much because the punt gun has a cool factor that can throw a pound of lead down range.

Out of my current fleet, I would have to go with my NWTF Win 1300 with 22" barrel and IC 660 choke.

Unless we are talking about one shotgun to do everything, and then I'll take my 26" Maxus.

If I were to buy a new gun and it be my only turkey gun from now on, it would be a 28 gauge CZ Bobwhite.
