Well if you want a gun that you can use for upland bird hunting also i would have to agree with the 870, in supermag that is. The supermag will allow you to shoot 3 1/2" for turks and waterfowl. Now if you want a strictly turkey gun you may want to look at the Mossberg 835 in camo, but i wouldnt suggest lugging one around hunting upland but it loves the turkey woods and you could drop it in quicksand, pull it out, and blast ole doulble beard!!
