A Wild and a couple of turkeys.
#384402 - 22/04/24 10:16 AM

My brother still lives near where we were born and raised in the midwest. I sold him a nice T. Wild 12 bore 15 years ago and he's still taking game with it. I told him I'm pretty sure he's the only one to ever use it on turkey since I bought it in England and brought it back with me.

Designed exactly to do just that!
Well done mate (well your brother anyway), let's hope you get your own next time!

Very nice. Great to see a beautiful bird taken with a great vintage gun.

Nice. I've never shot a wild turkey. I have seen some on Kangaroos Island. Introduced turkeys. Hopefully they survived the bushfires. And some wild pigs, the fires and govt cullers. Maybe I'll find access again one day to a property.

Congratulations to your brother on the brace of turkeys. Nice shotgun as wel.l

Some can't or shouldn't be rechambered due to the taper of the barrels making thin spots at the new forcing cones.
