Sure, it'll work, butbe aware of one thing: When it comes to hunting, the turkey load ranks right up there with the most aggressive cartridges there are.IMO, a single shot will most likely make for a rather disappointing experience for you. Sure, it's a very economical way to start but sometimes the cheapest way isn't the best way. If you get it just make sure you put on a really good recoil pad because if you're going to shoot those 3" or 3.5" shells it's going to knock your fillings out.

I like the H&R, have one for the kids, but recoil is an issue. The specs on the Rossi show 7.25 lbs. which is much heavier than the H&R. Still likely a beast with magnum type loads, but not impossible to handle.

You might want to consider getting a Remington Express 12 gauge pump gun. They are selling right now for less than $300.00. This way, you'd havemore than justone shot"if" needed.

I had a Rem Express with a 26" barrel with a Rem super full turkey choke that threw good patterns at 40-45 yards
I also have a NEF 10ga that throws good patterns out to 40 yards... If I had to pic one it would prob be the express
