RE: Need Some Gun Suggestions
I shoot the Mossberg 835 for turkeys. It costs much less than the 870 and came with Tru Glo sights and sling swivel studs. It was already camoed and with the money I saved I' m putting in a Rhino choke and getting some Nitro Hevi-shot to make it a real turkey thumper!
But, if you want to do some wingshooting too, go with the 870. The Mossy is a great turkey gun but that' s all I use it for. Wouldn' t want to wingshoot with mine. Too bulky, doesn' t point real well for wingshooting, plus it' s ported.
BT had it pegged for a good all-round shotgun combo. 870 in 12 and 20 for you and your son sounds like just what you' re looking for.
