Title: M2 first bird
Post by: Ranger007 on March 26, 2015, 12:01:23 PM
Got my first 20 gauge bird this week with the M2. Rio @  20 yards. I'm hooked now.

Thanks to all here for the help getting me going.

M2 compact, IC .555, FED HW#7

WOW!  he looks just as dead as every bird I have ever killed with a 12!

Hope my new 20 gets to bark soon.  Working the next three days.  Ughh.

It was a close shot, but it was lights out didn't move a inch.

I called a few other birds  this week and buddies killed with 12's, some close some at 40ish and they were dead also but the M2 20 is a fun light little gun. Paper patternes were good but, after a kill with it I have all the confidence it will do what I need.

Thanks guys

I have been turkey hunting for years all with the 12. For some reason the 20 brings it to a new level for me.

Yeah didn't think about the "yellow shell"

Definitely going to stand out hanging with all the 12's

I can't wait to get one with my 20. I will probably start using it as my primary gun next season. Good looking bird. Congrats.

It's a great gun combo with FED HW#7's. But will definitely be my primary gun next year when I get some TSS loaded up.
