I know this has been asked many times and the answer is a matter of preference, but I am in the market for an 870 for turkey season. The only problem is what about dove and duck seasons in the fall and winter. I like the super mag turkey with the 23" barrel but I am afraid the 23" barrel will not be very good during dove or duck season. Therefore I also looked at the 26" barrel, which may be a little long by today's turkey gun standards. Help, so confusing!!!!! I havea mossy 835 tactical turkey (20") that has been very disappointing on the patterning range so I am a little afraid of the short barrels. I would really like to get some good patterns for once. Any help or previous experience would be greatly appreciated.
