If you want both a turkey and a pheasant gun.. just get an 870... If your taking shots within 35 yards... a 2 3/4 inch #6 field load will kill a turkey all choked up.. Otherwise shoot a 3 inch. I have a Mossberg 835 and the first chance I can get a new 3 inch 870... I'm gonna shoot that mossberg. I dont use all that camo.. It might look coll but you dont need it.
