- It's the ultimate "transformation Tuesday" for the turkey hunter! It's a look at the gun from 2021, the Benelli Ultralight that I took from upland eye candy to a bit more turkey hunter friendly appearance. I discuss the "must haves" I like on a turkey gun and we walk through the gun from one end to the other. All the work on this gun performed by IronHorse Gunworks in Loretta Tennessee. #pinhotiproject #turkeyhunting #hunting

Benelli needs to come out w Pinhoti - Benelli ultralight turkey special offered in 20 and 12 gauge w/ Mossy-oak bottomland !
Preston does amazing work. Great looking set up. Looking forward to this coming weekend in Nashville hearing you call again.
Killer set-up, Dave. Thanks for sharing how you make that gun work for your style. Love the matte black over bronze cerakote on the barrel and receiver.
I'm running the Pinhoti .560 and an IM .601 Trulock in a 555 O/U, hand loads, #8s tss, and nickel-plated lead #7s...keep up the great work your doing, glad to see you giving back to conservation, that's awesome...
Sweet set up Dave... 20ga and TSS is the way to go... looking forward to 2022 season
Great review Dave. Began using a TriStar Raptor 20 gauge in 2017. Gave my 835 to my grandson last year. To all us older guys 20’s are the way to go!
Beautiful set up. I’m rolling a similar setup with the Trulock .585 this year. Enjoy all your videos! Best out there ✌🏻🦃🦃💥
After watching the video on your previous gun. Last year I installed the youth stock on my Benelli M1 20, installed the Fastfire 3, bottomland taped the entire gun and a Carlson’s turkey choke.
Two long beards fell to that gun and your mouth calls.
I’m still smitten with the gun. (and the diaphragms)
Thanks for another great video Dave et all.
Awesome gun Dave! My setup is a tristar viper g2 bottomland...light and with a 660 pinhoti trulock...its gonna be a monster on toms. Looking forward to your 2022 content!
Been shooting Benelli's for many years, actually owned an Ultralight as well, great guns.
It’s slick!!!🔥👊 My Henry 20 sure loves that .585 choke.
Nice review. See ya in Nashville soon!
Very nice. Looking forward to shooting my new 20 g. Benelli M2 this season! It's so light weight.
Nice rig man. I bought my teenage son a 20 gauge last year.
I’m thinking this old man might be joining the 20 club soon.
I wouldn’t even consider 3.5” shells as the 3” Turkey loads are brutal!
Best of luck this spring!
Nice setup…Let’s see how that thing patterns!
Very nice gun Dave !! I'm excited to to shoot my pinhoti 585 choke I bought from you out of my franchi affinity 3 20 in bottom land !
Sweet Dave !!. Glad you became a Benelli user. Have my ol' SBE 1 12ga. I Lug around. Have handled the UltraLight. That might be the one I need to upgrade to. 74yrs old I need to lose weight. The gun damn it !!
I have an SBE 1 as well, graduation present in 2003. Still sends'em.
It’s about time Dave! Guess I’ve got a franchi affinity 3 compact for sale now…. Thanks a lot Dave….🙄
Preston does some awesome work. I had him cut my M2 barrel down to 20.5 inches. I’m shooting the Pinhoti .560 ported & really like it.
Love that gun u need to go ahead and get with Claw to make a pinhot og bottomland gun sling and a set of Pinhoti vest straps !
Indian Creek for my 20 gauge!!
That would be an awesome gun to rabbit hunt with during the off season
Check always the bolt to make sure it is closed often especially before u shoot. If bolt is sliped back a bit it won’t fire.
Did I over look that hoodie on your website? I need one LOL
I've always used 12 ga myself however, after shooting those 3.5" loads I get it why you'd prefer a 20 ga.
Would like to see a video On your thoughts between the two 20 gauge banelli shotguns and you're thoughts on the 2 pattern difference
I shoot a Winchester sx3 with a carlsons longbeard xr with Winchester longbeard xr 3 1/2 inch shells im confident in shooting 55-60 yards all day i havent shot anything that far but 40 yards its a nasty good pattern
Benellis stock just went up
Did you get a Titanium Nitride coating to the bolt? I just sent off a montefeltro bolt and trigger assembly for coating to have a 20g turkey set up for this year. Those guns pattern great.
Sweet video man! Just switched from a fiber optic bead to a vortex venom red dot sight this year and I'm about 75% comfortable with it. While getting it dialed in, I had issues with the sun. Of course we never sit out in the broad daylight when we're hunting, but I wonder if it's going to be an issue. Also, very low light conditions down in the swamp. I've killed birds before straight off the limb that I could just make out beards with the naked eye. Do those reflex sights have issues in low light conditions like that? It's hell getting old with these eyes lol. Preciate any insight!
What’s the mount again.Awesome set up buddy
This is the second video I've seen on the channel funny enough the first video was when that longboard flew across the creek and it malfunctioned.
Can you describe why the upgrade on trigger and recoil springs? What was the ballpark $ to customize to a turkey mods?
Awesome turkey gun!! Where can we get one of those sweet Pinhoti Project Hoodies like you're wearing?

I've always turkey hunted with a 12 gauge mossberg 835 3.5" that I've had for about 20 years. It performs well, however, it's on the heavy side and a lot of recoil. I've been debating on making the switch to a 20 gauge, I'm intrigued by the idea of using a lighter weight gun with less recoil. My main concern with a 20 gauge is being effective at longer distances around 50 yards. It seems you don't have a problem with that. Are the TSS loads the key to being effective at longer distances with a 20 gauge? Or could you get it done with lead as well? I've been on the fence but recently you've got me leaning towards a 20 gauge
What did you use for the sling given the ultra doesn’t come with mounting ports?
Finely they came out with a light and short barrel turkey gun i"m still waiting for beretta to come out light and 20 to 22 inch barrel,
Would have to have two of those so I keep one natural. Hate to see a beautiful gun covered over.
The question is what did you do with a Franchi?
Is that choke available for a Mossberg 835 12ga?
What choke are you running on that ultra light?
Dave I would Love to hear your opinion on the new gun vs the old franchi especially since you have hunted with both. Also sell me the franchi!!!! Lol
The Franchi is Courts designated turkey gun for now. The main difference the weight distribution in the gun. The Franchi carries it's weight in the forearm while the Benelli carries its weight in the stock. Both proven shooters.
@@pinhotiproject thanks for the info on the guns. Im sure Court will put it to good use!!
Good information for anyone looking to put together a turkey shotgun. Wondering, how does the 24" barrel compare to the past 26"? I shoot the Encore single barrel in a 26" to keep it light and manageable for all purposes. The single makes it shorter but I'm considering an autoloader.
I've shot a 24" barrel for many moons. With advancements in shells, I only see barrels getting shorter.
I shoot a 24" for ducks as well. Those choke/shot combos make up the difference for sure
What is the barrel length on the ultralight
Nice video!!! Which tss do you shoot???
He rolls his own. There's a video on his page.
What bolt handle is that?
Will it pattern true bead or is an optic needed? I dropped money on a Franchi affinity 3 last year for it not to pattern to a bead and not particularly fond of sights on a shotgun and was upset that you spend that kind of money for it not to do as should…luckily my 870 20ga still holds true
I think every gun may be different in this regard, I wouldn't know for as soon as I purchase the guns they're drilled and tapped for the FastFire. An aiming device is a great idea in my opinion when choking shotgun patterns down which is commonly the case.
Why did you stop using this setup?
🦃🦃🦃
Is the original wood stock dipped or did you dip a synthetic stock?
Its the wood.
Dave why do you set your red dot so far back on the receiver. I’ve always mounted mine as far forward as possible thinking it is more accurate that way. What is your thinking on this?
You have a lil better field of view.
For me I like mine back too. I haven’t found either to be more accurate than the other. That’s for me tho.
Does the Burris FF3 have a red glare on the front and if so, have you ever had a turkey spot that?
they do.
There is a glare, can turkey see it and react? that's still up for debate. I've had some situations I thought it was seen and others it was obviously seen but the turkeys didnt react. Verdicts still out.
Did he even say what guage it is? It looks like a 20ga maybe
Yes. It is a 20.
So what do you shoot when your in states that dont allow #9 shot because there are several?
I've shot Fed Hwyweight 7's in one situation in the past. But thankfully those states are shrinking- including what I assume is your homestate of Indiana coming around the the TSS way of thinking.
Where can we find the mount for the fastfire?
Ironhorse Gunworks
What camera you use for barrel camera ?
Shotkam
@@pinhotiproject Thanks
Sweet gun! Really wish you would have kept the “OG” Bottomland instead of the new version and was REALLY REALLY expecting to hear you used Rob Roberts Custom Gun Works especially since he does the Benelli custom shop work. I’m sure ole what’s his face shop did find for ya though. Good luck this season from Arkansas!
Yep. Preston @ironhorsegunworks has always done right by my guns. Haven't ever had work done at Rob's shop but I'm sure he does good work.
@@pinhotiproject good deal! Does Preston do the forcing cone work and other services as well?
@@thereaper4396 Not sure if he does forcing cone work- never had it done on any of my guns.
@@pinhotiproject if he does you should give it a try. Removing that forcing cone is an absolute game changer for your pattern.
@@thereaper4396 I know back in the lead days guys were doing it but the results were not consistent. Some would show benefits and some wouldn't. Same for barrel polishing and the like. Just don't think its necessary for a 40 yard gun now with TSS.
I noticed u still have the "be safe"circle sticker on there. Ohio doesn't use them anymore and mine has worn off from 20 plus yrs of abuse..... any ideas?
I think you can find the stickers with a little looking through NWTF.
@@pinhotiproject thanks buddy!
Does the gun weight include shells loaded into the gun?
Doesn't. But the finished weight I took did include the mount and camera I have on the barrel during the season.
@@pinhotiproject Thanks
@@pinhotiproject what camera and mount do you use?
Do they shot 2 3/4 3 inc. 3 1/2.
3"
I have a mossberg 835 bought it late 80s it will put over a 100 #6s in 10 inch circle at 40 yards no money could buy it from me killed over 100 turkeys with it use 3 in shells
Same had my nose breaking 835 for years just could never part with it
I was a Mossberg 835 guy for years so I totally hear you guys. Then I picked up a 20-gauge Benelli M2 when ammo started getting so good (Longbeard XR and now TSS), and it changed my mind forever. The 20-gauge is sooo much lighter and easier to maneuver when you’re crawling or making a small adjustment to kill a gobbler. There’s much less recoil, and the extra shells are lighter. You end up feeling like you’re carrying 5 less pounds in the woods. And if you’re sacrificing shot distance, it’s marginal. The ammo is so good now. Anyway, I love my 835 and it will always hold a special place in my heart, but I could never go back to it as my primary turkey gun. It has no pros and all cons for me. Try a 20 fellas!
Bought my 835(Realtree Hardwoods) about 20 yrs ago. Currently run a Kicks Choke and 3.5 Hevi-Shot Magnum Blend. Don’t plan on changing anytime soon.
I remember when I strived for 100 #6s in a 10" circle with my 870 Express Super Magnum. It was the benchmark and regardless of all the new technologies- those #6s never let me down.
Where can I find one of those sight mounts at?
Ironhorse Gunworks has them.

How many rounds does the Benelli ultralight hold
I have a plug in the magazine tube. So the tube holds 2 and 1 in the chamber.
@@pinhotiproject okay. Is there a plug in the gun that you can take out to hood more?
So you camouflaged over a nice walnut stock?....it's still wood....
and. . . . I'm not following the question?
@Dave Owens: the Pinhoti Project rhetorical question really. Browning has been known to camo over wood instead of a synthetic stock. It makes me wonder about the durability since it's still wood. I'm a benelli fan and own several. Without looking up specs my 20ga m1 is light weight and my ultralight 28ga is to nice to camo. That being said I still opt to hunt with my 9lb SX2. Why didn't you go with an m2 to get the durability of synthetic stock even if it is a few ounces more?
