I'm probably too late for this turkey season that kicks off in a few days. I have a few family hand me down options I can look at in July.
My grandfather has a 12 gauge pump he offered me. Additionally his cousin's husband is an avid trap and skeet shooter and hog hunter, but he is going into hospice soon. My grandfather told me she doesn't know what to do with his guns yet, I'm trying to be tactful about asking about types/models. I really don't want to end up with all of the firearms.
With all that said I'm still on the lookout for one to purchase in case what is offered to me in July isn't what I need.
My research keeps showing me that shooting skeet requires a completely different shotgun than hunting turkey. I could use some suggestions.
For my requirements I'd prefer a semi-automatic but not required, doesn't need to come with a choke but needs to accept one. Pistol grip is desirable but not required.
I'm only looking for it to pull double duty as a hunting gun for turkey, maybe pheasant and skeet shooting. It does not need to pull quadruple duty as a deer/hog shotgun, does not need to shoot slugs, and doesn't need to be a home defense gun.
I don't need to buy anytime soon, but I am looking to buy before the end of the year. Ideas?
