I won't even call myself a newbie, as I have not yet hunted turkeys. I know the day will come. There are two seasons in Ohio, and the opportunity will present itself. Anyway, the closest thing I have to a Turkey gun is my grandfather's 16 guage (Model 12 Winchester, made in 1947). It has a bead sight, full choke, and 2 3/4 in. chamber. I love that shotgun, but I'm guessing it's not quite enough.

I also own a NEF rifle, for which I can buy a 12 guage barrel. New barrels are very affordable.It is, however, a single shot.

So, any chance to take a turkey with the sentimental 16 guage? Is the affordable single shot an appropriate route to go? Or should I buy an entirely new shotgun? (Maybe one with an interchangable rifled barrel for deer!)
