LOTS of different combos as far as chokes, shells, guns, scopes, etc.

I suggest getting a couple of chokes, and some different shell types, get some buddies together and hit the range!
Good luck!

Near any gun will work if you have the proper choke/shell combo.

I use a 20 gauge and will never go back to anything larger. Every gun will shot different so testing different loads with chokes will refrom a gun into a turkey gun. Choke Quality is one concern if you want to cut down some work, most chokes with long tappers will find a shell that will place the proper pattern. Cheap chokes do not offer long tappers and will make it hard to compete with a quality choke.

Don't fall trap to the 3 1/2 mags for a farther shooting gun, they only deliver a dencer pattern....

I'm partial to Mossberg 835's. I have the Thumbhole Turkey Series w/ a Ulti-Full .697 Choke on it. With 3.5 Federal #5's it patterns like a dream.



I was going to sell it, but I got all teary eyed thinking I'd be without it.

I'm a Remington fan so I'm going to tell ya a Rem 870 12ga with a Remington Super full turkey choke and some 3" HV #5's...

I noticed you have a 20ga listed as one of your shotguns... You could use that with a Remington turkey choke and 3" #5's
