What is your favorite pump action turkey gun? Best patterning, quiet, reliable, etc.

All factors considered..... Without a doubt it has to be a Remington 870SM

Everyone has their own reasons but I like the 870 because of all the different stock options and availability of aftermarket chokes. The gun feels great in my hands and doesn't rattle like other pumps. It also has the extended forarm which is nice to have whenever you got it propped on a knee and touch off a 3.5" shell. I've darn near taken my kneecap off with other pumps with the shorter forearms.

I almost forgot, Timney makes an 870 trigger upgrade that is the bees knees. It's eighty dollars or so but WELL worth it!

I believe Mossbergs overbored barrel and the browning BPS with put up better patterns but not enough for ME to give up the ergonomics of the 870.

 I hear a lot of people crazy about the mossberg, but I think I like the feel of my 870 and Bps better. Still haven't shot the mossberg yet. Hope it patterns as well as people say they do.

The one that looks and feels the best to you, because you will spend more time carrying it and looking at it than shooting.

Most modern guns pattern fine but they all handle different.  Good luck.

Mossy 835 for its patterning abilities, it hurts to shoot but its worth it. A very close second is my Rem 870 20ga.
