Default Whats everyone's turkey setup and what do you think

What gun(s) will be in the woods with yall this spring? What choke, shells, and everything else are you using?

I'm shooting a Remington 870 20ga with a Primos TightWad choke and Winchester Supreme #4's and a Hunter Specialties Undertaker sight.
Has anyone used a setup like mine? How well do you think it will work (by the way, this is my first turkey season, so I'm not sure about anything)

I'm using an 11-87 with a .665 Undertaker Choke. I'll probably be using either the Federal Heavy weight flite control, or the new Winchester X-tended range.

Rem 870 exp mag- 12 ga pump- 20"bbl- w/extra full turkey choke- stock ball/pin sight- shooting 3" Rem hevi shot #5

Timba, it should work for ya, just be sure to pattern it before ya go out to be sure you have the right loads for it, to get the best pattern. Same load by a differant maker will pattern differantly.
