I am looking to buy a nice new turkey shotgun. I am wanting this in camo and I am going to put a scope on it. I want a 12ga. I also am wondering who makes the best choke to use to get a nice tight pattern. Need some help on this guys.

If you want a pump I vote for getting an 870. They come in every possible configuration and have any type of accessory you can imagine, not to mention the 870 is the standard to which all other pumps are measured.
Mossberg 500 with a factory xx-full turkey choke. It does the trick for me...

Remington 870 and Mossbergs are both workhorses..great guns, I've owned both.
I personally prefer the feel of the Benelli line of guns more, but to each his own. Go shoulder each of em, and get the one you like best. Each gun likes different chokes, but I do know Benelli guns usually get along well with an Indian Creek tube and hevi shot.
I shoot winchester hi density through a carlsons ported tube with no complaints...kills at 50 just as easily as 30.

You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is 'never try'
It depends on how much you are willing to spend. If you have only a few hundred to spend, then a Mossberg is fine. If you have an extrahundred or so, then I would definately go with the 870. It is put together a little better than the Mossbergs.
Either a Mossberg 835, or a Remington 870 they both come in 3.5" chamber which is what you want, as far as choks I like the Indian Creek Turkey hokes for my Mossberg 835
Never owned anything but an 870 sps-t super mag. Anynice 12 ga.will do though, it's not that big of a deal. Just whatever you feel most comfortable with. I shoot a .660 constriction primos tightwad choke, with 3.5" federal #5's. Also I would suggest using open bead sights, unless you're hunting open country and anticipating long range shots. I've never used a scope on a turkey gun, but I've had way too many close shots at 20 steps or less where I've had to throw up and shoot quickly, and I know a scope would have made a lot harder to get on those birds. It has a lot to do with what type of terrain you're hunting too.
