I am looking at getting a shotgun for turkey season. I want to spend under $500. Right now I am considering a Benelli Nova, Mossberg 500 or a Remington 870. Any advice/recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks

Id go with the remigton I enjoy its action better. But both the 500 and the 870 have bullitproof reputations. Put a good choke in ether and your will on your way for spring!

I shoot the Nova with a Primos Jellyhead choke on it. Works well for me.

$500 is plenty. I shoot a Nova 12 ga. Use 3" Rem., copper plated lead #5's and with Pure Gold choke tube. Works great. Have friends that use the Rem 870. In fact my daughter uses a 20 ga. The 870 is a long proven design.

Winchester makes a pump action shotgun that's fast & smooth. They use to make 1300, but now it's called SXP.

I picked up a used SuperNova for $300 a couple years ago and love it. I'd definitely look at a shorter barreled Benelli. Mines 26 inches, but they also come in 24.

You can't go wrong with any of the choices previously mentioned; the nova or the 870 will treat you well! Best advice I can give you is go shoulder and fondle the ones in your price range and pick what feels or suites you the best. Good luck in your search.

X2 nothing beats shooting it first hand.

I would highly suggest the Stoeger 3000 or the 3500 model. I bought my son Tony a Stoeger and he NEVER has had a problem. Check it out for yourself.

+1 I like these for an entry level gun also.



Did anyone one say Remington 870 or Mossberg 500 yet ?!?
