Well guys, I am now in the 10 gauge business too! I put a BPS Stalker on lay-a-way just a minute ago. I will have it in a few months and the wife told me to get whatever I needed to set it up come B-Day time. So Nitro 4X5X7's or Straight 7's. Rhino Choke tube either .690 or .710 --- whatever Ray suggests with his shells.  Hopefully an Aimpoint. Maybe get it all dipped eventually, but I doubt it.

What made me jump on is I shot the 517T 12 gauge load twice yesterday to pattern and figure if I am going to tolerate that much recoil I may as well get a 10 gauge!!!!

I am sure I will be back with some questions the closer it gets to getting time to pick it up.

I hate turkeys

You now have big thunder. You will love the 10. Get you one of those little carts people carry golf bags on to tote it around. I have a light weight 3 1/2" 12 ga that I carry very little I just drag around that big 10 (I love the roar).
Get you a Sims recoil pad it turns the kick into a good push.

Well I forgot to add that I got the 26" barreled Stalker model. My friend and engineering mentor, has one of the original Stalker with a 24" barrel and I love the feel of the gun. I would have liked the 24" barrel, I wanted the black model instead of the camo.

I plan to just let it ride on lay-a-away until my B-day which is in December. I also put the father in law a youth model 870 synthetic 20 gauge on lay-a-away for Christmas so I think it will be nice to both have new turkey guns for Christmas time and in time to start playing with them before turkey season.

I don't think I will mind the weight, I will just take a few pounds off of myself to counter act the gun. My 12 weighs 8.5 pounds and the BPS weighs 10.5. I will definitely be around this part of the sight looking at info and patterns, what works and what don't for the next year!
