I agree with OT. My first gun was a blond Stevens 410 bolt action with a tube magazine feed and I learned to shoot grouse, squirrel and rabbit with that little gun. A turkey is a pretty tough bird and a nice well fitted 20 gauge would be something he could use all his life for a variety of small game. That being said a 20 yd shot with even a 410 should have put that gobbler down. I suspect he didn't get down low enough on the barrel.
