New shotgun recommendation

You know, I just set up a Rem 870 Youth model 20 gauge for my wife. I put on a Carlson turkey choke for another 25.00 Really this is all the turkey gun a guy needs. Shooting Fed Heavyweights #7, Light cheap and it is a killer.......Good luck

I'm a Remington guy.  Hands down the 870 was always good to me.  I patterned mine out to 60 with an undertaker choke tube in case I ever needed to use it.  Only had to do that one time.  But it was nice to know that I practiced and patterned it out that far.  Otherwise it probably would've walked.  Now, had I been in the position I was in 2 minutes before the gobble at 20 yards, I probably would've been just fine.  But I had to call and get them to gobble so I could crawl back to my position because of the slight hill while their eyes were closed.  Got back to the top of the hill and they were walking away.  Now, had it not been within the last couple hours of the last day of my hunting trip 8 hours out of state, I probably would've passed.  In my opinon, just about any gun would do the job.  I now shoot a Tristar Viper G2.  It's a semi-auto and I was able to get it for $450 out the door at one of my local shops.  Put a primos tight wad choke on it and it seems to fit me just fine.  Been using that gun for turkeys, geese, and ducks with very few malfunctions.

Mossberg 835 Turkey Thug. The name is kind of silly, but the gun shoots great and has the best trigger I have ever pulled on a shotgun.

I know a bit off topic but This gun will no longer be leagal in NY due to that stock. Sorry to the OP for going off but as I looked at that pic I realized this is now an assault weapon.

To the OP I would go out and hold a few different guns. There are plenty of good quality and good performing turkey guns. To me the most important thing is for it to fit you comfortably. I have gone to buy a particular firearm that I liked and when I finally held it it was no good for me. Find a good shop and hold them all.
Good luck.

Mossberg 835 or Remington 870.  You can spend more, but those two are HARD to beat.  Also, if you really want used, those should be relatively easy to find.

I bought a stoeger 3500 two springs ago and love it! If you're on a budget and want to go with auto, 3-1/2" chamber, for the money I'd buy it every time. Its a little heavy, but helps with the recoil in my opinion. For a pump I've always like the Benelli nova, as old gobbler mentioned about chokes, they are easy to find chokes for those guns, and it fits the stoeger 3500 if you upgrade later. Hope you have some luck finding one!
