RE: what would be a great turkey gun?
 

Not really completely on the subject. But this last spring my hunting partner decided he needed a new shotgun. So he goes out and buys a brand new mossberg turkey edition. Camo and all. I grab my trusty rem. 1100.So we go out I set us up. Call 2 birds in, one for me one for him. Watch em tear our decoy to hell. I count to three and BOOM. my turkey falls and flops. Then i hear BOOM BOOM. he empties his gun and the turkey saunters off.My point is Getwhat works for you. opinions are great place to start butno matter what gun you get the thing is to know your gun. pattern it and know your capabilities with it. a bigger gun or bigger shell does not guarantee akill.

I couldn't agree more. The combination between shells and choke tubes will be the determining factor on a "good turkey gun". Any gun can be with the right combination.

i know of more turkeys killed with a single shot or pump action where youd only get one shot, than i know of with autoloaders, what im sayin is you have to be confident enough in your gun to KNOW you will kill the turkey with your first shot. i just havent had the opportunity yet.:Dbut when it comes. hes goin down. so just get the best gun for your budget, get some good loads, a good full to super full choke and blast away.
