if it's turkey your going after I'd like to recommend the Mossberg 500 in 12 guage with 28 inch barrell and changeable chokes, i also will say that you will probably have to play with different chokes and shot loads and sizes to get everything matched up so that it performs to it's peak. I have been useing this gun with 3 inch mag federal turkey loads and extra full turkey choke for years and i've taken birds as far out as 75 paces and it has never faild to do the job also im my opinion fora good all around deer rifle with long range, flat trajectory, and knock down power it recommend a savage bolt action 270 the seem to do a good job for either short or long range, I have takendeer at 25 yrds and out to 600 yrds with the same cartridge and they fell in their tracks with a 130 g federal factory load! Hope some of this helps. Also it would help toknow for sure what your hunting for and what types of guns your allowed to hunt with in your state as that varies from state!
