Looking for a new gun

Looking for a new gun - 06/17/10 12:58 AM

Ok, I need you turkey guys to keep your eyes open for this gun for me. I cannot find it anywhere online or local and I want one bad. I had a chance to buy one at Marks several yr's ago and like a dummy I passed thinking I would buy one later. I believe these sold in the $500's. I don't think Remington even makes these anymore. I guess I may need to call and make sure. I have always wanted a dedicated 20 ga turkey gun.

Off the old website

With the impressive performance of the newer 20 gauge magnum turkey loads, Remington now offers hunters the choice of a lower-recoiling, 20 gauge, 3-inch magnum shotgun – the Model 870 SPS-T Camo Shotgun. Combining the reliability of the time-honored Model 870 action with the durable features of Remington's Special Purpose shotguns, makes this pump action the ideal choice for the demands of turkey hunting.

The Model 870 SPS-T (Special Purpose Synthetic-Turkey) Camo shotgun features a weather-defying, synthetic stock and fore-end that is fully camouflaged with Mossy Oak’s New Break-Up® pattern. This lightweight 20 gauge pump action is capable of handling 3-inch magnum shotshells and has a 20-inch vent rib, Rem™ Choke barrel with Full choke included. Fit with the new R3™ Recoil Pad, designed by Sims Vibration Laboratory, the felt recoil of this lightweight Model 870 is significantly reduced. The camouflaged barrel is equipped with TruGlo™ light-gathering, fiber-optic rifle sights for ease of target alignment. Completing the package is a camouflaged, Cordura® nylon sling, swivels and studs.

Didn't see one. I seem to have a liking for guns that are no longer made or they are hard to find. My 12 ga go to turkey gun is a Winchester 1300 Short Turkey. Go find that one at your local store.

I'm trying to contact a buddy of mine in Ohio. He had one for sale about 2 years ago, and I don't know if he sold it or not.

If he didn't I will get you some contact info.

Bud's Guns still shows it on their web site, but listed as out of stock.

http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/94989

Last one sold for $467. I'd give them a call; if there is a new one for sale anywhere, they'll know about it. Might could find you a used one too.

I got that Winchester 1300 short turkey with the camo laminate stock and forearm. Only two birds I ever shot at with it I missed. It is now my home defense shotgun wink

Call or email Remington. Maybe they can tell you when they last manufactured that model and give you a big distributor's name. Then follow up and find who may have some in stock. That's a hard shotgun to find.

Actually I really do love it. It's like shooting a sawed off but that's what I like about it. I can carry it all day and not notice it. I shoot a Comp-N-Choke .655 and Winchester #6's and it will pattern and kill out to 40-50 yds with any of the others outside of maybe a Nitro setup. I have never missed a standing bird with it. Now missing one running or flying into the next county, thats a different story. I'll give you $100 for it so you don't have to look at that crappy gun anymore. Heck, I'm just down the road, I could even come pick it up. laugh
