I make someone mad everytime I say this but, all that firepower is not necessary and I believe it encourages people to take questionable shots, resulting in lost/wounded birds. That being said, 12ga 3 1/2 is easier to find shells for than a 10ga, but the 10, other factors being equal, will kick less. Both will kill turkeys, but so will a .410 in capable hands.
3.5 is waaaaaaay toooooo much!!! How about a 20ga? check this out i know u think 20ga? Yea right but go to the remington website, and look at the remington sp-t 20ga, comes in full camo, 21inch barrell and tru glo sights it cost about 500$, great turkey gun if ya ask me

Does it have to be a single shot......you can find a lot of pump guns with 24 inch barrels in 12 3 1/2. I have a benelli nova that has a 24 inch barrel and is 3 1/2.

RE: 10 or 12 3.5?
get the 12 ga its more versatile if you get a 10 ga you limit yourself to just waterfowl and turkey hunting, besides I have found the 12 ga 3.5 inch to have a denser center shot string to 40 yards then the 10 ga.

I have to agree with the others here ,,, Can you get this gun in a 3 in ,, you don't need either of the 3.5 or 10 , just stick with the 3in if possible...BT
10 or 12 3.5?
