I have taken a number of turkeys with my 12 gauge NEF Pardner. It is choked full but no screw-in choke. It is chambered for the 3" shell and I have never felt under under gunned as it delivers an honest full choke pattern.

Because these guns are so light they do kick a lot when using the turkey loads. I put a cheap recoil pad on mine and filled the stock with lead. It helps some but she still gets your attention. But hey, when a guy uses those kinds of loads even my Benelli and Beretta can punch hard. I can' t see any noticeable advantage to a 3 1/2" 12 gauge shell. If I am going to shoot a 3 1/2" shell I' ll use a Ten Gauge.

What I like about the NEF is that I don' t worry about it getting abused in the brush or briars. It will do the job that an expensive shotgun will do but without the cost. If I were an executive with their company I would add a rib and/or rifle sights to their turkey guns. Turkey hunting has become so specialized over the years I think they would do well with something like that.
