I WAS and absolute awesome shot with iron sights for the first 29 of my 35 years of turkey hunting. From almost day one used a Remington 870 Express with a 21" long barrel featuring Remingtons excellent iron sights and Remchoke with a Remington factory XF turkey choke. Then I wanted to go to a...

This year I turkey hunted A LOT in the rain and heavy fog AND heavy misting conditions and had issues with my scope fogging up, but only in when I hunted in heavy fog conditions which I am practiced at dealing with as I keep paper towels in a dedicated pocket in my turkey vest. I have a red dot...

I envy your access to such high quality turkey land. I hunt some of if not the best lottery draw limited access public land turkey lands in the states I hunt, AND still after 30 years make it a point to get drawn and hunt 1st season if at all humanly possible. Despite doing exactly as you...

Just my 2c worth. I have 36 turkey seasons and over 80 turkey under my belt. I hunt in IL and IN this year. Combined in both states I covered more than 110 miles on foot. My 12ga 24" 870 Express Supermag will put 422 #8.5TSS in a 10" circle at 40 yards. BUT **** thing weighs 9.12oz and by day 5...

Well finally pulled out my Wheeler engineering trigger pull gauge and tested the trigger pull on my new yet to be fired 20ga G2 Tristar Viper pistol grip and average of five pulls was 5.5 pounds. A far far cry from the reports of 10-11 pounds I had seen, read and heard reported. Am I just...

Well picked up my new 24" Tristar Viper G2 pistol grip turkey gun in MO/BLC yesterday from my FFL. But promised my son an afternoon till dark of bass fishing so cleaning and assembly had to wait until today. Felt the gun came very well packaged and well protected. Liked the fact the extra chokes...

FWIW I own two made for CVA by Bergara Cascade bolt rifles in 450BM and a Bergar B14r and all three have greatly exceeded my expectations in every possible way and I wouldn't hesitate to give either the CVA Cascade or B14r the strongest possible recommendation to buy.

Well went a slightly different but similar route. Found just to good of a deal on a Tristar Viper G2 20 gauge P-grip to pass up and ordered one. I'm really getting tired of Cabela's/BP not just rarely if ever having a firearm I want to buy in tock, but not even available to order. I have $100's...

Yep I'm going to be investing in a hand held metal detector as teeth are some **** big $$$$ to replace. My hunting partner just shattered a tooth on a nut and it was way north of $2k to replace with a implant. I also want start pheasant hunting again and plan on using #9 TSS shells for that.

Just wanted to say thanks to Len, I tried Rain-X anti-fog on my scope and binos and it worked extremely well.

If this will fit your binos it can not be beat IMO https://www.amazon.com/Bino-Slicker-Harness-Ultralight-Weatherproof/dp/B07RWQVPVD?th=1

Thanks for the info and advice. Will hold off on the choke purchase for now.

Yep turned out to be the gun I wanted so I ordered it. Price was cheaper TMD then anywhere else BEFORE tax. Going to order a Carlson's .568" WLBXR choke as I've seen many posts reporting it works great with 20ga 3" #8 TSS shells. Already have a 30mm tube Bushnell Elite 4500 1-4x24 scope and...

Well found a online deal from a well established reputable online seller to good to pass up on a pistol grip Tristar Viper G2 pistol grip 20ga turkey gun. Calling first thing tomorrow to confirm its the PG model as it lists it as a PG model but has no picture. If yes will buy it. Once that is...

Thanks for all the replies. Tomorrow is the last day of my states spring turkey season so I am going hunting. On my way home will stop at my local Cabelas they have a few in 410 but should fit close enough to 20ga to give me an idea if it feels right. As far as recoil goes I've shot more 12ga 3"...
