Does anyone have any recommendations for me for a possible new Turkey shotgun? I currently have a mosberg 500 bantam that are purchased for my kids. I am looking for something for me. As I sold my mosberg 935 water foul gun last fall. I normally would have just used that. Thanks
about the best religion can possibly do, is maybe make you a nice person, where as a relationship with Jesus Christ can make you a new creation

If your pocketbook will allow I would get a Benelli . I love my 2. Also a Remington 1187 or 870 are great guns. It just depends how much you want to spend. Good luck with whatever you choose !  :icon_thumright:

Mossy fan here.  Really like my 20" 835.  Carries like a carbine.  No frills, its just a work horse.

I can't deny though--I really want to get my hands on an 870 with the shur shot stock.

I shoot a second hand 870 (3" shells) 12 gauge.  It is an NWTF 30 year anniversary commemorative gun.  Someone won it at a local banquet and traded it in without ever shooting it.  It has served me well on all of my turkey hunts.  I don't have a problem with used guns as long as they are in good shape.  I love my 870.

Checkout Stoeger 3000 or the 3500

You can always spend more but an 870 is just hard to beat.  Accessories are also plentiful.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

I am partial to the Ithaca Turkeyslayer. Might be worth a look.

Mossberg 835 for the money you cant beat them.

Benelli SBE2 if you want to spend some cash, mossy 835 or 870 express if you want inexpensive, or maybe an 11-87 or 870 supermag if you want somewhere in between.

My dad and I both shoot  Benelli Supernova's.  It flat out patterns great.  Great looking gun, for a great price.  Both of ours is topped with a Nikon turkey reticle scope.  It will reach out and touch the turkeys!     If you want an auto and have the money get a Benelli SBEII.
