My friend got one just before the spring season started but with a 26" barrel, and with the Remington extra full turkey choke, you made an excellent choice
Great gun super dependable I used an 870 for 15 years before I upgraded this year to a semi auto and I do miss it i might even trade it in on the gun your looking at.
Good Choice

Good gun. Can't go wrong with an 870, and that particular one gives you the option of 3.5" shells. You might pattern well enough with 3" shells, but its nice to have the option in case 3.5 is the ticket for you. I just picked up a mossberg 835, thats another low cost turkey slammer. Both remington and mossberg have their turkey hunting fans.
I have that exact gun, have had it for 5 years. Can't go wrong at all. Primos Tightwad .640 choke, 3 1/2" Federal number 5's = DECAPITATION, DEVASTATION, DINNER!

Yeah I reached out and touched him a little bit there. He shouldn't have been runnin that mouth and shakin his tail feathers at the ladies all morning long, haha. I've sure enough busted some heads with my 870,it's undoubtedly avery lethal setup and I do not ever plan to change it.
