Shot the 870, SX3, Super Nova w/pistol grip, and this year will be toting the SBEII.

The SX3 shoots the hot loads (Nitros, Extended Range, Hevi Shot) all really well. I just patterned my SBEII today and at 30 yards with Magnum Blend and Jellyhead choke it is AWESOME!

I shot the Nova last year with pretty much the same setup (Jellyhead and Extended Range/Hevi Shot) an it threw a great pattern. Loved the pistol grip but wanted a gun that I could duck hunt with other than my 870 so I traded the Nova in.

Hard to argue against a good 'ol 870 for price and performance.

If price isn't an issue, I would get the 'Nelli nova. I have had mine for a year now. I have yet to kill a turkey with it, but only because I never got a shot. When I was looking, I found really good reviews for this gun. The only thing I hate about it is that the pump rattles. Anyone else have this problem?

Ithaca Turkeyslayer is the setup for me.

I,ve held several novas and the pump rattled on all of them. I have several friends that kill turkeys with them so I guess it's not a problem.

yeah my dads Nova pump rattled as well. Im thinking either the Nova or Mossberg 835 turkey thumbhole

I've had my camo 870 SPS-T super mag for 8 years now and it still gets the job done.

Compton, here's my Mossberg 535.


Lightweight, comfortable to handle, and knocks a turkey's lights out!

Here is an 835 set up for gobblers:



I have found that WalMart can order these guns. I spent the extra $20 and ordered mine from a local gun shop. And you will notice mine is black... I saved a bunch of $$$ by skipping the camo and I haven't found a turkey yet that cares that it's black. I've thought about putting some camo tape on it, but there's no need.

remington 870 hands down

I was actually looking at that Mossberg. And if I can find that particular one then that would be the one i'm going to get because it has everything I want on it. Thanks everyone for the help.

My 870 Wingmaster with a 26" barrel that I bought when I was 16. The gun has never once let me down. Hevishot patterns really well with it for turkeys.
