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?

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.

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.
