I shoot a browning bps 10 , my wife shoots a bps 12 and my son shoots a 870 express youth model. All have performed very well.

I've got the ugliest Mossberg 500 you've ever seen. Find what groups well out of your gun and you'll have a turkey slayer

I used a 20ga this year with the Federal Heavyweight #7 with the 28in barrel and dropped one I think 30/35 yards no problem. Sold it and got a 20ga youth 870 with Truglo SSX choke and has much tighter pattern with the shorter barrel, same choke. if you go to www.oldgobbler.com there are quite a few that have given up their 12's for the lightweight 20's. due to chokes and heavyweight shot.

Been using an old Mossberg 835 with 3.5 inch shells but just found a 3 inch that groups much better. I would love to own a Benelli SBE though just can't talk myself into throwing the cash down for one.
