Thanks SwampCollie. I'm thinking that a 24" is probably what I'll end up going with.

That fits nicely in the middle.... not too long, not too short. And for $250 its a good buy.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO BUY A NEW GUN GET A REMINGTON 12GA. 870 SUPERMAG EXPRESS, IT CAN TAKE ANY SHELL UP TO 3.5 INCHES, AND THROWS A NASTY PATTERN WITH A TRUGLOW TURKEY CHOKE

I asked the guy what year it was bought and he said 02-03. He said it has only been shot a couple of times in the last 2 years. Still think that's a good buy?

I currently have a Mossberg 500 in 20 ga so I might end up getting a choke for it since this will be my first turkey season. I've had that shotgun for...well I got it when I was 10 and I'm 28 now...so 18 years. It has the "youth" barrel but I don't remember the exact length...I think it's a 22".

That sounds like a good deal on the gun, but you probably wanna look it over well before buying. You never know how someone cared for their gun. I have an old Mossberg and can attest that their good guns and tough as nails. I would hold off if I were you, and get it done with the 20 gauge. But then again, I'm thinking about saving up for a Benelli Supernova.
And I really didn't doubt that you'd enjoy turkey hunting. It's a blast!
