If you were going to buy a new turkey slayer????

[Chilly]

If you were going to buy a new 12 ga semi-auto turkey gun (set up for turkey only and nothing else) what would you buy? 

[Dawn2Dusk]

Benelli SBE, but I'd opt for a pump and get a Remington 870.

A Remington 870 is like a hot rod car nut's Chevy.  Everyone makes something cool for it and everyone has tricked them out in ever known way possible.

Turkey and nothing else?  I would go with a mossberg 935.  I have never owned one but I am new believer in the patterns that the 835 produces.  Plus you would need a second morgage!  That being said I'm a pump guy.  Also I'm not a SBE fan.

[goblr77]

Definitely something overbored.

[coyotetrpr]

Mossberg 835 or 935. I have an 835 and will be getting a 935. End of story in my opinion. You could pay 1000 to 1500 for some others, but I personally don't think that you get any more capable gun. In fact I think you get a little less turkey gun with the high dollar models(pattern and Mossberg is made in the USA0

SBEII with pistol grip stock and Nikon Monarch scope!   

[grousec]

Semi Auto turkey only, first choice: 935, secong choice steoger 3500.

[allchokedup]

Benelli M2 with a steadygrip stock in APG camo. Then I would put an Eotech 512 Holo. scope in APG camo on it and tip it off with an I/C choke. I like 3" shells , but if I was using 3 1/2" shells, it would be the SBE II set up the same.

[mossy835]

Semi auto also the Mossberg 935 (have the 835) check the site for your best choke choice and go for it. Put a Mueller on mine so far it is great for my needs. Change chokes and hunt coyotes and or pheasants. Have fun and good luck.

[ILIKEHEVI-13]

The Moss 935 hands down for the best shooter.  If I wanted pure quality and that is all I cared about and price was no object, I would opt for the Win SX3 or Benelli Super Black Eagle II.  But the 935 will be more than you need.  And you can buy one for around $450. 

[3" 870 Shell Shucker]

Turkey and nothing else?  I would go with a Mossberg 935.

[/quote^ That, but with a Pure Gold.

Strictly for best pattern, Mossberg 935.
For best quality overall, Benelli SBE 2.
I'm currently shooting a Benelli SBE 2 and Mossberg 835 as well.

I don't know enough about mossbergs current offerings to say anything one way or the other about them.

I do know I like Beretta semi autos, and am looking to get myself an Xtrema 2 for "heavy duty" use.

The beretta semi- autos fit me the best, and have a good track record.
