New Turkey Gun?

goob23 · 02-16-2005, 06:03 PM

I am planning on buying a new turkey gun this summer and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on which gun to buy. I have looked at the new Mossberg 935, and have plenty of luck out of the old 835, as well as a Remington 870.

Remington has made some great advances with their super full turkey chokes. My brother in law took two in the fall with a new Heavy shot choke. We put up some paper to see the paterns, and they were just about the most dense I've seen.

man, i wish i could find a wife that would buy me a sbe. that must be nice. i sold my 870 b/c it shot about 6 inches low and to the right with a turkey choke, and i didnt like the sights i had to put on it to get hitting right. the gun shot good, just couldnt get over that problem.
