Bronko I've got the same as I set up the youth 870 topped with a Nikon turkey pro scope for my grandkids.
I found I liked that more than my heavy trusty 1187.
And last yr, well I've found it too easy so am going back to my blackpowder shotguns.
One is my great grandaddies fowler.
Bores to be a 16 ga.
I shot my 3rd turkey on my 40th exactly 30 yrs ago. Time to drag that back out.
And I have a Pedroselli 10 ga of which I never got a pattern to my liking of which I going to work on that too.
Then back in the closet from dear Ole dad is a Trapper percussion 12ga or 50 cal I never fired.
I hope to get to that.
I do need to upload pictures.
