Twelve-gauge pumps might still rule the turkey woods, but 20-gauge autoloaders dominate the current turkey gun trend. Thanks to potent TSS loads and custom turkey chokes, hunters can swap heavier, shoulder-pommeling big bores for lightweight sub-gauges without sacrificing effective range (in a lot of cases). If you’re in the market for such a rig, you should put the Beretta A300 Ultima Turkey 20 gauge at the top of your list.This spring I had the opportunity to test and hunt with a Beretta A300 Ultima Turkey, customized by Rob Roberts Gun Works.

If you’re like me, your collection of shotguns is kind of like a set of golf clubs. Each is a different tool for a different purpose. I have a dainty, lightweight British 12-gauge for long walks and fast flushes. I have a smooth-shooting Remington 1100 for sitting still in the marsh. And I have a short-barreled 20-gauge for turkey hunting. But the most important gun in my safe is a beat-up Mossberg 500. I’ve used it to shoot deer, ducks, geese, turkeys, and pheasants.I’m not enough of a golfer to think of a club that would best describe my Mossberg,…

As red-dot optics become more and more popular as a handgun accessory, the variety of models and mounting systems keep increasing. If the industry ends up coalescing around the “MIL-STD” of red-dot optics mounts, it may be Aimpoint’s A-Cut for their COA optic. One year after the COA’s introduction exclusive to a single manufacturer, the market has been opened up to all companies adding an A-Cut to their handguns. Springfield Armory isn’t letting the grass grow under their feet by adding A-Cut options to its 1911 Operator, 1911 TRP, and 1911 DS Prodigy models. The new COA-ready Springfield handguns have…

Performance shooting is your opportunity to demonstrate discipline with every press. It’s the discipline that cashes out as accuracy. One of the most challenging aspects of accountable accuracy is establishing control early enough in your drawstroke to bring usable stability to alignment. Although easy to understand, it can be difficult to execute: Build stability before you press. Our drill this month trains you to form a stable firing platform early enough to gain optimal control before the shot breaks. Timing is of the essence. Stability comes first; the press follows. This drill consists of three progressive tiers, all run from…

00:00:01 Speaker 1: The history of Montana began with an earnest plea by its native people to learn Christianity, but the mission collided with reality when the two sides could not agree on the purpose of religion. I’m Dan Flores, and this is the American West. Jesus and Animus beneath the Bitter Roots one exquisite rocky mountain autumn morning during the decades I lived in Montana. I walked past tourists in Tanna on the roadside historical marker and descended down to the gray cobbles of a famous little Montana stream named Lola Creek. 00:01:01 Speaker 2: Then I picked my.…
