Now in my opinion a remington 870 express is as good of a turkey gun as it gets my second favorite is a Remington 1187 both those work great and won't breat the bank. Stay away from mossberg

LOL... Well your prob right... BUT... Some people might not kill gobblers every spring and after 2 or 3 seasons of chacing them and one comes in and hangs up out there at that 40-45 yard mark, that guy might want a gun that is going to get the job done!!! I know I would...

Some guys say you can get it done with a 410. I know were they hunt...
