RE: Turkey Guns
I love my 870 SPT 3 1/2" gun. It came with 2 chokes,a camo sling and syn. stock. It was kinda spendy at around $480.00 in my area. It shoots 2 3/4",3"& 3 1/2",. (If you want)Nice gun.

RE: Turkey Guns
The new Model 870™ SPS-T™ Super Magnum™ Camo is ideally designed for turkey hunting. It comes with a 3 1/2-inch chambered, 23-inch vent rib barrel and integral Rem™ Choke system. Included are Remington’s Turkey Super Full and Extra Full choke tubes for exceptionally dense patterns. The relatively short barrel avoids catching overhead branches when the shotgun is slung over the shoulder, and it comes with an ivory front bead and steel mid-bead for quick, accurate sighting on the bobbing heads and necks of wary gobblers. The versatile Mossy Oak® Break-Up camo pattern helps it blend into virtually any background. Sling swivels and studs are standard, and a matching, camo pattern Cordura® sling is furnished.
Model 870 SPS-T Super Magnum Specifications
Gauge Chamber Barrel Length Choke Overall Length Avg. Wt.(lbs.) Order No. MSRP*
12 3 1/2" 23" Rem Choke
44 1/2" 7 1/4 4968 $569
I bought one of these last year for about $425.00 tax and all. It is a great shooting gun I am going to buy a after market choke this year for it to reduce the recoil

RE: Turkey Guns
Jim,
I have an 870 express magnum. Brand new $220. I camo'd it myself. This is a great inexpensive turkey gun. Otherwise, go with the mossberg. Both the 500 and the 835 are available at Walmart. $233 for the 500 turkey special and $340 for the 835 ulti-mag. Both are camo.

RE: Turkey Guns
JJt3buck,welcome to the forum.Believe me when I say you dont have to have a fancy big ole bored camo shotgun to kill turkeys.For the price,and versatility of the gun you cant go wrong with an 870 express magnum.It will chamber 2-3/4 inch shells and 3 inch shells alike and will kill anything you want kill with a scatter gun.I've hunted doves to geese with it,had it in the snow,mud,rain and heat and it keeps on shootin.For the price thats the gun to buy. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: Turkey Guns
I've got the 870 super mag the price tag was about $300 and has been a great gun I spent another $20 and got the Camo Clad Shot gun kit to camo the gun it is very tough. If you plan to do any duck or goose hunting you can use it with the 3 1/2 shells hope you find the right gun.
