I was using my 28" Model 1200 Winchester as a turkey gun the first year or two with a fixed modified choke. Then I took that barrel off and had the short slug barrel for it threaded so I could use all kinds of chokes. Along with that I did as Oldtimr mentioned and had the front and rear sights removed and replaced with fiber optic sights. The whole works cost me about $50, not including the turkey choke I then bought for it. That shorter barrel really comes in handy in the grouse woods with an improved cylinder in it and as the leaves fall I just go to a little tighter choke as the birds start getting up a little further out. It also handles nicely when I use it turkey hunting compared to a longer barrel.
