If I was just gonna use the gun for turkey hunting I would go with the Mossberg 835 or an 870 Remington. If you are looking for a versatile gun, the best I have ever seen is the old Remington Model 11. They haven't been made in like 50 years, but they are still in circulation at flea markets and gun shows. Buy you a 12 or 16 gauge in this with a full choke barrel and you can hunt turkey and squirrel, though you can't shoot 3" shells in them. I know people who use the 2 3/4 inch shells and are successful turkey hunters. You can buy additional barrels on ebay. Sometimes this gun is a little pricey in comparison to the Mossberg, but if you take care of the gun, it won't let you down.
