Default Shotgun

I want to get back into turkey hunting. I need a new shotgun. Does anyone have any advice. I am a college student, so I don't have a lot of money, and I would like to find something for $400 and preferably under. Thanks for the help.

Forget any 3 1/2", not needed. Go with an 870 Exp. Mag. Syn. in 12 ga. You should be able to get one for under $230.00. Will kill anything you want to shoot at with it.

Remington 870 Express magnum!

This is my pet shot gun! Has done wonders with anything from ducks to turkeys! Best $220 you'll ever spend.

Hell, I've even used it as a boat paddle on a couple of occasions! Multi-purpose gun!

The 870 is a great gun but you should also look at the Browning BPS. Right now Browning has a 75 dollar rebate on all BPS 12 gauge 3.5" shotguns. This rebate comes directly from Browning so if you shop around you can get a really good deal. Personally, I like the 3.5" guns. They are not required but I can shoot 3" or 2.75" ammo if I want.
