What do you consider long distances? Even if you go to 3.5" magnum shells, you' re still looking at getting them within 40 yards to make a good clean kill. Most 3" magnums will handle that task.

If you like Mossberg (you and I might get flamed for this one) you might look at their new Semi-Auto. I believe it' s a 935 (?). It' s supposed to be the semi-auto version of the 835 Ulti-Mag. It should be a pretty nice gun for the money.

Me personally? (I' ve had numerous Mossbergs, a couple of Remingtons, and one Winchester) I dropped a chunk of change on a Benelli Super Black Eagle. It' s primarily my turkey gun. It' s the last turkey gun I' ll ever have to buy.

i' m talking 50 yards i' m not really wanting to spend that much money for a benelli i have looked at some charles daly guns they look good but there is a lot of mixed reactions to the gun so i' m pretty confused about what to do and also do you have any idea how much a mossberg 935 will cost.

50 yards is a very long shot at a turkey, and I don' t recommend it with anything short of a rifle.

The Mossberg should retail for a 100 or so below what Remington and Winchesters want for their top of the line guns. That is if they follow their normal pattern. I' d say somewhere between 400-500.00 for one.

The Charles Dalys are " ok" guns in my opinion, if you' re lucky. You could get one that works fine for several years. You could also get stuck with a lemon that you' ll never be happy with.

The Mossberg Danny is talking about is the 935.It' s currently in wood or camo, wood goes for about 500, camo for about 600. The sneak preveiw at a recent DU shindig suggests it may well turn out to be a hell of a auto. Strickly a 3' ' and3 1/2" gun which is just fine for turkey and waterfowl,supposed to pattern REAL nice[8D]

If you truely want a semi then why settle for a pump?, you' ll just regret it later. Stick with your original plan, just my 2 cents

deer hunter 21 If the 870 Remington is the express model $200 is paying close to what a new one costs around here $237 and change . If you don' t have a problem with used guns you can find some good buys on remington 1100 or 1187 both . I have a few autos but myself I prefer the pump shotguns .

I was going to say, the 870 Express regularly sells for 210.00 here, and can be found on sale occasionally for 199.00. The Wingmaster is another story.
