While checking "my" FFL guy, he was showing me five Weatherby Mark 5 in cal. 30-378, 300, 270, 257 and one in 22-250. All had Gold Ring 6.5x20 with diff reticles depending on cal. One gentleman purchased these at the same time about 20 years ago and is now selling them. All stainless fluted barrels with grey syn stocks. After that is when I saw a full camo Turkey gun on the rack. It is the Mossberg Ulti-Mag 835 pump with fiber optic sights. We wheeled and dealed on a partial trade and I took this home. Looking at the gun it was not hunted with, a sling was not put on and looking down barrel with a light it looks like one shot was made with it. Full bluing on slides and action. My guess some guy shot a 3 1/2" full turkey load to pattern it and said "NOPE" and traded it off. I'm going to try my hand at getting a turkey this year instead of just watching them do "Their Thing" while I'm coyote hunting.
