Contributor Mike Roux talks his readers through tactics to kill a Tom late in the season.

Now that modern loads can turn sub-gauge shotguns into true turkey killers, it’s time to get a modern sub-gauge shotgun. The SA-28 Tactical Turkey is a small-framed semi-auto gas gun with a 2¾-inch chamber designed specifically with that in mind. At only 39 inches long, this 6-pound featherweight sports a straight stock and a contoured pistol grip, providing a short but maneuverable 12.75-inch LOP. 

Henry’s newest single shot is easy to carry and sports fiber-optic sights and a turkey choke for deadly tight patterns.
