I used a 12 ga for years for turkey. But over the past 5 or so years I've used a little Remington 870 youth model 20 ga with a red dot scope. A Remchoke xtra full choke and Winchester Supreme 3" 5 shot has killed 3 turkey out to 35 yards. That combo throws a tight pattern out to 40 yards which is my limit with any shotgun. And the youth model shotgun is a joy to carry and from the sitting position it fits in my shoulder nicely. Oh yeah BTW it is in camo too.
