Question: I have been big game hunting a while but now also want to get into waterfowl and turkey hunting as well. I don't own a 12 gauge yet, sothat would bethe next toy on the list. I'll probably get a remington 870 because i've heard nothing but great things about it. Do I want it to be able to shoot 3" or 3.5" shells? I have read that the guns made for 3.5" can also shoot 3" as well, but are more expensive. Do I need a gun that shoots 3.5" shells? I know geese and turkey are both big birds, and I wouldn't want to find myself in a situation where I felt I was under-gunned... I am fairly limited in my knowledge of shotguns and would appreciate any advice.
