I think it's interesting to see just how this breaks down in this crowd.  Everyone has a favorite of everything they use, and that's the American way!  You can't sell a Ford to a Chevy guy!

I would like to vote for 2.  I chose MB for me, I love my 835.  I love my Rem 870 compact 20 gauge as I have gotten it to be a shooter and my son smoked a turkey with it.

I feel your pain! I voted Mossberg because of the killer patterns my 835 produces. But there are alot of 870s in my safes and only one Mossberg.  For that matter I have a Winchester 1300 that I love also! So many choices!

I really don't have a favorite turkey gun. My favorite shotguns overall would be Berettas.

I Love my 870 SPS-T but I own a 835 that's laid down a bunch of birds and they both have a home till I'm gone but I sure am liking a Benelli M2 and will own one in the next year.

I voted mossberg because this is a turkey forum.  While I think that mossberg is as good a turkey gun as one can ask for, I also love grouse and woodcock hunting and for that I love those Franchi and beretta o/u's and I also have a little Benelli Legacy 28 ga that sweet.  But I am not so blind that I am hung up on only one brand.

Mossberg for me. I've been using my Mossy 500 for the past 34 years.  First used it for small game then turned it into a turkey killing machine 16 years ago.

Now I have an 835 and a 20ga Mossy

Mossberg for me.

1st Mossberg for me, then would come Benelli. You cant beat the killer patterns of the Mossberg's, and you cant beat the looks and quality of a benelli.

I wanted to vote for two myself.  I voted for Mossberg cause I love my 835 and was the first shotgun I bought myself.  I added some things to it this year to make it a turkey gun.  I would also vote Remington because all the things you can do with it and Remingtons are excellent guns.  Going to buy a 870 20 gauge this off season to set up for turkeys.

Beretta shotguns here..

Remington Wingmaster 870  21in barrel, polished, hastings .665..... may actually be my favorite gun that i own....  Been turkey hunting with it since the late 70's.  Probably killed more turkeys with this gun than any other.

I have two favorite turkey guns and both are Berettas.

I voted Remington as my favorite.  But my 835 is my best shooter.  And it's still a heck of a gun.  Hasn't failed me yet, and everything works like it should.

for pumps I like my Winchester 1300 with the 22" choke tubed barrel with the rifle sights on it.  For me those sights are low enough on the barrel I get a good solid "cheek weld" on the stock to help with recoil, and the fit is as good as I have found in pumps.  mine is matte black with satin walnut lumber.

for semi autos I like the beretta 391's and Xtremas

1. Mossberg 835
2. Benelli SBE 2

Same choice!  I own both too and both are cerified turkey smashers!  Plus with a simple choke change, my SBE II will slam the geese and ducks and whatever else I feel like pointin her at. :z-guntootsmiley:  Used to be the same thing with the 835 but she's all turkey murderer now. :newmascot:
