That gun will serve you well for turkey hunting. Get some vinyl camo tape and an extra-full turkey choke and have at it. The camo tape goes on easy and comes off easy, won't mess with your finish and if you rub on a little WD-40 before applying, you won't have rust. I used it for several years, over and over again. An after-market turkey choke with the right load, will bring it in line with the best camo turkey gun. As far as the best loads, that's going to be up to your gun. Try Winchester first. Their high velocity loads seem to pattern well in a lot of guns, but try Federal and Remington too. Each gun is a rule onto itself. Good luck and have fun.
