I'll put in a vote for the (IMO) best pump gun on the market-the Browning BPS. And it's available in the BADDEST gauge for turkey too-10 ga.

Are you looking for a dedicated turkey gun, or one that can be used for other game? Since, for a good turkey hunter, the kill is usually a one shot deal, I see no reason to spend the extra money on an autoloader. I have 2 dedicated turkey guns, a Rem 870, and a Mossberg 835. It's pretty close, but I think i would recommend the 835, but the 870 is also good. Last evening, I just happened to see the camo 835 turkey in our local Walmart at $309.

Like I said,if it's for turkey ONLY, then a Browning BPS in 10 ga is the ULTIMATE gun. I've proven time & time again that a Mossberg 835 with 3 1/2" and 2 1/4oz will NOT pattern as well as a 10 ga with 2 1/4oz shot.

if you can handle recoil get 835 if not mossburg has a auto thats supose to be pretty good. i dont know about the browning 10 but had a sp10 was way to heavy .i know shoot a browning gold hunter 31/2 alittle more money but a def shooter out to 60 yrds.
