This past fall I got an 835 at K Mart for $216 on clearance. It has the black synthetic stock, parkarized finish and ported 26" bbl. More of a waterfowl version, but it works for me as a turkey killer. Added some fiber optic sights and a turkey choke and voila! ;)

As far as the SPS-T goes, I' d love to have one but it' s a little out of my price range for now. I do own an older 870 Wingmaster in southpaw version and prefer the 870' s action over the 500s and 835s, but for an all around, good shootin' , solid, and reasonably priced shotgun, you can' t beat the Mossbergs.

BTW, at our Wal Mart, the camo 835 is around $369 I think.

I have the Remington 870 SPS-T and highly recommend it. It is definitely going to cost you more than the Mossberg but I personally believe it is worth it in the long run. It will hold it' s trade-in value better for down the road if you find something you would rather have later on. But if money is a factor, the 835 will serve you well also. Many a turkey have fallen to both of these guns. Good luck! :)

If money' s not really an object then definitely go with the Remington. My cousin has the 870 SPS-T and absolutely loves it (I do, too.)

For an in-between price and an excellent gun, don' t forget the Benelli Nova. I recently picked up a brand new one for $369 + tax (24" camo). It' s a great gun, too.

The 835 in woodland camo isn' t priced bad. The barrels on the 835 are really good.
If you are set on an 870, I' d get an 870 Express. It' s not camo, but the turkeys won' t know the difference.
