[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 3883159, member: 1132"] Oh do I have experience with the Super Goose! Turkey hunting was just on the rise back in the late 70's, early 80's when my dad and I got into it. After having a hard time bringing down my 1st jake with Remington Express Long Range #4's in my 2 3/4" chambered 1100, I came prepared the next season with a Super Goose 10 ga, 34" barrel and all. Now mind you I was a skinny 15 year old kid when I started rolling turkeys with this behemoth! And yes on occasion, it would roll me a bit too! You definitely made sure your shoulder wasn't firmly against a tree trunk! LOL One thing I did learn was it didn't like speed running the bolt, in case a follow up shot was needed (it never was). With adrenaline pumping I'd invariably work the bolt too fast after the shot and it would literally peel the brass back off the next shell, right where the extractor groove was on the barrel extension. Then I'd have to kick that ruined shell out and be more careful getting the last shell in the chamber, effectively turning my 1+2 repeater into a 1+1. Other than that it always worked as needed. I think 4 different people ended up killing turkeys with that gun before I ultimately let it move on to a new home. One thing's for sure, yes it was definitely a hoot! [/QUOTE]
