RE: turkey guns
I have 2 Benellisuper novas, and love them. One has the comfortech stock, the other has the steady grip. Both shoot great, and for the money IMHO its the best valued pump gun on the market. A lot of people like the Mossberg 835, and the Browning BPS. The biggest thing you need to determine is, how much do you want to spend? If money is no object no one will argue that the Benelli Super black eage 2 is one of the best guns you can buy. But its anywhere from $1300-1500. If your looking tor strictly a turkey gun, I feel a pump gun is all you need. I have shot Primos Jelly head chokes, Carlson, and briley chokes. So far the Jelly head works the best for my Benellis. BTW this weekend I shot all these combinations with each of those chokes.
Test guns (Benelli Super nova 26" & Mossberg 835 24") Super nova consistantly had more shots in the 3" every time.
Win. Xtended range 3" 6shot
Win. Xtended range 3.5" 6 shot
Win. High velocity 3.5" 6 shot
Win XX 3" 5 shot
Win XX 3" 6 shot
Win XX 3.5 6shot
Rem Hevi-13 3" 5 shot
Rem Hevi-13 3" 6 shot
Rem (old school hevi shot) 3" 6 shot
Federal 3" Flight control 6 shot
The Best shooting combo was the primos Jelly head (.655) & Rem (old school Hevi shot) 3" 6 shot and the Win. Xtended range 3.5" 6 shot a close second. at 53 yards I was consistantly putting 10-15 shots through the 3" circle. This will be my choice for ammo this season. If interested my dad has a 2 week old Benelli super nova for sale. He just got a SBE2 so he is selling christmas present.
