This refers to a specific model of over-and-under shotgun manufactured by Mossberg, chambered in various gauges such as 12 or 20, and specifically marketed for turkey hunting. These shotguns are characterized by features like a camouflage finish, a shorter barrel length for maneuverability in wooded environments, and often include specialized choke tubes designed for tight patterns at longer ranges, crucial for effective turkey hunting.
The value in such a firearm lies in its specialized design for a particular hunting application. The over-and-under configuration allows for quick follow-up shots, while the camouflage aids in concealment. The inclusion of turkey chokes provides pattern density at distances that might be difficult with standard shotgun chokes. Over-and-under shotguns have a long history in sporting arms, often preferred for their balance, aesthetics, and simplicity of operation, lending a sense of tradition to the turkey hunting experience.
