I have dedicated guns just for turkey. But to save money a 26" gun could be used for more than just turkeys and can be converted by just changing the choke. That way you can use it for ducks, dove, pheasant and other upland birdsand of course turkey.

The single bead is no problem but I would add a set of Tru-Glo clamp on (not magnetic) sights. Try-Glo does make a set of clamp on adjustable sights so your back ramp can be set for windage and elevation. Why? Today's turkey chokes give you a very tight pattern and you are just aiming at the head. Under 30 yards and the closer the bird is the smaller/ more denseyour pattern is. Tru-Glo sights help you keep your head down and use that shot-gun as if it was a rifle. The sights can be easily removed and then replaced with little trouble. Once you put the sights back on - A few shots at a patterning target and you are back on. I did this for years until I dedicated a gun for just turkeys.

The gun I used was a Remignton 11-87 SP. It has a matte finish to which camoflage is not needed.

Let us know what you have chosen and do come back as if you take the time to read all the past threads here there is wealth of inforamtion from some very good turkey hunters here!
