Personally I like a pump for Turkey hunting. 20-24" Barrel and a red dot scope. And no sling because all they do is get caught on something. I have a Mossberg 835 and its a great gun. I've shot 6 turkeys with it and my Dad has shot 5 turkeys with it. These are the two I would recommend. The 535 cost $671 and the 835 cost $674. Not quite sure of the differences but I believe the 835 is better.
