I happen to be a benelli man, and shoot a super nova with a tactical grip... I like that I can easily pick up the gun with one hand. The bottom line is that turkey hunting is more about the hunt and less about the shot. Most shotguns will pattern well enough at 25 yards which is I like to shoot them. I have missed them close because my pattern was too tight, but have never tried a long shot because that's what deer hunting with a rifle is for.
