Mooselette Gets her Turkey Gun 5 (3)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on by 2

Mooselette finally got her turkey gun on Saturday. It was months late in coming, but she will have it for Spring Gobbler Season. It didn’t always look like that was going to happen.

The shotgun is a used Mossberg 535 12 Gauge. I found it at a steeply reduced (should have been a hint) price just before Christmas. It had problems. I was at least able to show it to Mooselette on Christmas Day, but I had to resort to a gunsmith twice to get it into working order. The choke tube was stuck, as well as the magazine follower.

The shotgun is equipped with a Truglo Gobble Stopper Xtreme ChokeTube. The kit included TruGlo fiber optic sights. We used Winchester 2 3/4 12 Ga 1 1/2 Oz #5. At 40 yards, she shot the best pattern of any of us.

First off, turkey hunting is by its nature not all that demanding on guns. This is not wingshooting. This is not duck hunting. You make a shot, fill a tag, and that’s it. A cheap gun will do as well as the most expensive. Of all the systems I’ve tried, … Continue reading →
