My wife was all over grouse hunting as an excuse to get out to the mountains, and I lucked into a very nice Remington 1100 in 20ga. Perfect fit for her, will be a good grouse gun, as well as dove and quail. And, she won't get tired of shooting it at the range.
Now she has caught the turkey hunting bug.
Problem one is that her shotgun has an improved barrel, so unless I can find a full, it's new gun time for her (this is a standard, so the later barrels will not fit, and no Remchoke barrels were made in the 1970's, which is her gun's vintage). I think I know the end result here....another shootgun for mama.
Problem two is that my shotgun is a Winchester 12ga pump. I am now nearly 62, with a shooting shoulder that has had one surgery and may need another. So a question for you smart guys:
Should I dive into a new 870 in 20ga, or, should I look at an autoloader in 20ga (in that case, an 1100 since I am stuck on them)? Should I stick to the lowest recoil in the 20 ga setup, meaning auto?
I'm a-listening...
