Nice, but I think they picked the wrong opening system with the top-lever. I much prefer the push button style. Just me probably...Geo

In addition I can't tell whether the forend is a pull-off or a screw on. Pull-0ffs are hard to use with a sling because you can't just screw the swivel into the forend wood; it pulls off too easily.

They want a pretty penny for those things.

There was a time when single barrel shotguns were to be found on every farm around where I grew up. Behind a back door, out in a shed or barn, on a tractor or combine. Handy for ready use. But none I ever saw as a kid had wood as nice as the lower one in that picture. Wow.

TSS internet stunt man...why not go full stunt and shoot a foe tin.

I got more respect for a turkey than that.

Ever stop and wonder why Federal starting pushing #7 size shot ?

Because they can't load a shell with big shot to compete with the pattern of a Winchester Longbeard #4 with it's shot lock technology (with liguid buffer) that's why.

I'm sure they'll be someone along shortly to tell me how dense TSS is...I say its dense but not as dense as their headz.

Those old dog leg shotguns were a tool. My uncle had one that never knew what the inside of a house looked like or what a bore swab felt like. It lived out in the tool room next to the door, AND it was loaded all the time. It stayed there after he died and I saw no reason to change its lifestyle. One day I was clearing wasp nests off the eaves in preparation for painting the house. The top eaves were a good 30' off the ground at least and while I could reach them with a 20 extension ladder and a long extension on the paint roller (still not sure why I even wanted to do that) I was not going to fight yellow jackets under those conditions. I got the bright idea of shooting them down... My grandmother would have frowned on that ... I loaded some rock salt but a quick test on some old boards showed it would be a little much. I tried table salt. Bingo. Then I started clearing wasp nests. It worked great. Killed all the wasps and cleared the nest all at once.

After the salt shot I figured I should clean the shotgun to keep the rust from rusting. I cleaned it all up and kinda got sidetrack from my painting (not hard too do). I found the bore to be very rugged so I chucked up a dowel rod with a wad of 0 steel wool wrapped around it and spun it for about ten min in the bore. Got a lot of gunk and rust out but it was far form a mirror finish. I started keeping oil on it after that and now it sits in a safe as the one firearm I have that belonged to that Uncle.

I learned to shoot a shotgun with an Eastern Arms 410 that wasn't in much better condition than the one described above. I still have it too.

Those old guns carry a lot of memories with them.

Someday, someone will maybe look back on your new Henry the same way.

The reason Federal makes #7 TSS is because 9 isn't legal in some states nor is the .410. TSS is such a bust that Stevens has designed a .410 around TSS #9.
https://www.savagearms.com/firearms/shotgun/stevens-series/301-turkey

Now the company named after the greatest inventor of modern firearms has a line of TSS shot for turkeys:
https://www.mackspw.com/Browning-12-Ga-TSS-3-1-3-4-oz
When someone says that everyone who uses TSS has a dense head and that same person rants against its use one has to wonder who has the dense head. Stevens, Federal, Browning et al.?? Nah...
BTW, Federal has used Tungsten #7 15 g/cc for close to 15 years in the Heavyweight series, but only last year introduced the TSS load which is tungsten shot with a specific gravity of 18 g/cc. Gil

How are you going to get your turkey scope on that thing?
