I have a 20 ga. mossberg 500 with a rifled barrel that I use deer hunting. I did take it turkey hunting 5 years ago. I love it. I would go with the benelli nova though. It's chambered 3.5 in. I like the nova alot. The 870 is also really good. It might be the most reliable gun in the world. If it was me I would get the Nova, but get the one that fits you best.
