I have two. A 12 gauge Remington 870 Super Mag and a Benelli Super Nova 3 1/2 inch magnum.
However , I also have a youth model 20 gauge Charles Daly pump. I bought it for my Grandkids , but I have gotten to where I also like using it. I have killed several turkeys with it the last couple of years. Out to 40 yards , it is deadly.

1.  Winchester 1300 Buck/Tom with a 21" barrel, dipped in MO New Break Up.
2.  NEF single, 24" barrel, dipped in original MO Bottomland.

Both are 12 ga., both shoot a JH .660 with 3" Hevi 13 straight 7.

That single sure is nice to tote around the mountains.

I have one dedicated turkey gun, and one back up (my old dedicated turkey gun). Both are 870's in 12 gauge. I know that guys are getting fantastic results out of 20 ga's., but I just wouldn't feel very manly shooting a pop gun. ;) ;D :lol:

owlhoot

dedicated turkey guns are 870's. one 20 and one 12.

Auto , 3 left are all black, turkey don't care and as high dollar as they are i like that i can still find them after i lean them against the tree or lay em on the ground to go pick the birds up!

Tell the truth guys , none have ever turned around and had to search for that camo gun. :help:

I have a Benelli SBE2, 26 in with a kicks .655 and just picked up an 870 express supermag in advantage camo. I happened to have an Indian creek 665 for it. The Benelli throws a mean pattern with hevi 6's and not too shabby with winchester hv 5's. I have yet to pattern the 870. Waiting on warmer weather. Although I will admit neither are strictly turkey guns. The Benelli is my "anything that flies" gun and I've been carrying the 870 coyote hunting.

I have a 26 inch SBEII that I use for both waterfowl and turkeys.  I use a Primos Jellyhead, I think it's a .660 with #5 Winchesters.  My backup gun is a Remington 870 with the Remington X-full turkey choke.  Both guns/chokes combos kill the gobblers just fine.

I've got two guns rigged exclusively for turkeys:

1. Browning Silver w a Pentax 2.5x25 and Indian Creek .675 shooting Nitro 5x6x7 Hevi-13.



2. Remington 870 SPS with Williams fire sights and a Sumtoy .650 Hevi-13 6s.
