I use a Rem 11-87 for turkeys I've got one with a 26 in barrel that shoots 3" sheels and my son took a beut of a rio at 48 paces with rem hv 5's last spring and it's been very reliable as well choke tubes are redally available for it so you can use it for upland hunting as well but myself i prefer a nice ithaca 16 ga. for uplands
