I don' t hunt turkeys, but I do alot of waterfowl hunting, and I use a Remington 870 Wingmaster. If I were buying a new gun today, it would be the exact same one. My 870 is a work horse. I can' t even begin to try to guess how many rounds I put through it every year, but it is still a very dependable gun. With being able to fire 3" shells through it, I don' t see why it would not make a fine turkey gun as well.
