Turkey gun
 

I am looking to purchase a new shotgun for turkey hunting. I want something that is light weight with a barrel length of 22-24 inches. What do you guys suggest. Any suggestions will be grateful. Thanks

For the money a Rem 870 super-mag is awful hard to beat.

RE: Turkey gun
 

I agree the 870 is a good gun for the money. So is the charlse daily pump 3.5

RE: Turkey gun
 

Remington 870 all the way.

RE: Turkey gun
 

The 870's have it.;)

I have used either a 870 or 1100 for years BUT.... I got a Browning BPS 10ga, not this past summer but the summer before to use on deer sometimes and for mostly one geese.... but I have playing around with some turkey loads in it and I think I am going to have to try it out this spring.. It has a 28" barrel with a xtra full choke in it, I am going to try a few of the aftermarket chokes in it but this set up is awsome.... it is hell on paper from 0 out to 70 yards altough I would not shoot past 45 or so with the gun.... just my 2cents

My Mossberg 835 has been a real turkey thumper!!

RE: Turkey gun
 

Oh there is loads of great turkey guns. I love the 870 but also have a Winchester 1300 Ranger and it's a great turkey gun as well. (once I found the right choke for it.)

RE: Turkey gun
 

I agree w/ farmcntry - there are loads of great guns. It's going to come down to personal preference and what you are looking for. Auto vs pump, etc.

For my money - ya can't beat my Mossberg 835.

Of course, if you don't hold on tight - it'll put a beating on ya.

RE: Turkey gun
 

Thanks for the replies, but can you get an 870 in a barrel of 22-24 inches?

RE: Turkey gun
 

Remington makes them from 18" up to 30". I don't know about 22" and 24" lengths, but a lot of their turkey models are 21" or 23".

RE: Turkey gun
 

I also use my Rem. 870 on turkeys...

They have it out in camo now and it also comes in 3 1/2 in mag...will gitrdun on turkey heads...

RE: Turkey gun
 

YOU GUYS ARE ALL WRONG LOL, MOSSBERG 835 ULTI-MAG IS THE BEST TURKEY GUN MADE.

RE: Turkey gun
 

Remington 870

RE: Turkey gun
 

Yeah they make the 870 super mag 3.5" in a 23" barrel that does a great job, can't beat them for what they cost. Try the Rem Ventilator .655 choke in it and you have a turkey killing machine. If you are going to use hevi-shot get the Rhino .660 ported choke and its even badder.

RE: Turkey gun
 

I killed my turkeys last year with a Rem 1100 with a factory full choke barrel and #6's. Killed 'em dead inside of 30 yards. I bought a 835 this year because of the camo pattern and the accuracy. No matter what you use, know it's limitations and always be careful!!

RE: Turkey gun
 

Model 1300 winchester has been the downfall of a lot of toms in my hands. I love the 1300 on turkeys. It shoots and cycles very well as well as having a pretty broad selection of chokes and accesories.;)

RE: Turkey gun
 

I've had my Remington 870 for about 4 years and it has proven to be a good value. The 870's in camo paint scheme usually have a barrel in the 21-23 inch range.

RE: Turkey gun
 

Nobody uses a Benelli? I have one on order. Should be here within the next month!

:DWooooooooooooohooooooooooooo REMINGTON 870 PUMP GUN!!! ;)Brampton Mike [8D]

RE: Turkey gun
 

REM 870 IS GOOD, BUT I LOVE MY MOSS 835.

RE: Turkey gun
 

I hope my MOSSBERG 835 does 'em good.
(This will be my first year;))

RE: Turkey gun
 

I'm for the Remington 870 Magnum or the 1187. Couldn't decide which one I wanted so I bought them both:D. I believe they're both the best great turkey guns made. My brother is looking to get a turkey gun soon so I told him to compare the three brands he's narrowed it down to for weight, noise and how each one feels shouldering it. I even told him to take a 12ga snap cap with him to get a feel for each ones trigger pull.

No matter what brand shotgun to get, with the choke tubes and the loads offered out there now a days you'll have a good shooting gun. You just take time to pattern it and work up a nice turkey load.:) Good luck

RE: Turkey gun
 

Another vote for the Winchester 1300!!;)

RE: Turkey gun

RE: Turkey gun

I love my 835 mossberg Ulti Mag.

RE: Turkey gun
