If you are insistant on shooting the Beretta for turkeys just go buy some quality 2 3/4" shells in #6 shot like the Federal Pheasant Forever shells at 1,350 fps. Pattern them using a turkey head target and see what load/choke give you the best pattern. You don't shoot that many shells while...

Not that I've seen.

Greg, I would assume you have looked on GunBroker. I see quite a few on there that meet your criteria.

I'm not following your issue with the 16 ga. A hunt at Granite Falls would be good. I've known Terry and his dad, Richard for years. We had several NSTRA field trials there.

In the article I read several years ago it said a pheasant could have a crop full of soybeans and literally starve to death due to their inability to digest them.

I've also heard in the past that pheasants have a difficult time digesting soy beans. Although I've never found anything to confirm that.

You keep saying this so I would like to know why those made in the 50's are better than those made in the 60's? Same identical guns made in Belgium.

Jon, there are new A5 20's on GunBroker. I look yesterday. Remember the 20's (just like the older Auto 5's) are built on the 16 ga. frame. They are only a couple onces lighter than the SweetSixteens which I suppose is due to the smaller barrel.

I lived in Aberdeen for over 30 years. Moved away 14 years ago. It appears that the "mom & pop" motels have all closed doors in Aberdeen.

It was a nice looking gun with an innovative design. Too bad Remington could never get them to function properly.

They used Remington ProBore choke tubes

It's actually a Remington 105 CTi. They had cycling problems that Remington was never able to solve. Here's a good article about them. https://www.outdoorlife.com/guns/remington-105-cti/

50's or 60's. Same diff.

Just saw this article today. https://www.keloland.com/news/local-news/residents-clean-up-thousands-of-dead-geese-on-lake-byron/

Question: What would you sell the gun "As Is" right now?
