Auto verse Pump

[Wingbone]

I've got both, but find myself using my pumps more. It's weird. I have Benellis and Brownings in the safe, but I've just always enjoyed turkey hunting with my 870s the most. Probably because of the ability to trick out the 870s vs. the limited options for the autos.

I generally prefer a pump probably more for weight distribution (feel) than anything else.
If I could get Ithaca to make me a lightweight affordable single shot I would be all over it in a heartbeat.

Both.

I usually travel with the NWTF BPS because it's reliable, with few parts to break.

Around home, I use my Benelli SBE II, and have just added a Super Vinci.

If the SV performs well, it might get to travel.

I do like to shoot a semi-auto when I'm taking someone new out, or backing someone up, or anytime where a fast shot might be required...

Now yer talking!
Have done up a NEF 12 x 3.5" with Remchokes and sights, but my bronlaw talked me out of it.
Pre-HeviShot. Bet it's a smoker with hevi!

my autoloader... because it shoots 3.5s and patterns better than my pump, makes no difference as long as the gun will kill
