I have been debating with myself for three months on how to spend accumulated Cabela's points and gift money to upgrade my Turkey gun for 2014. I'm down to two options:
1. Get a $220 23" Remington Barrel with TruGlo rifle sights that will work on my 870 SuperMag (already have the ShurShot grip/Forend) and then use what I have left on a new .308 deer rifle
- already have chokes and am familiar with this gun, like it
OR
2. Get a new Benelli SuperNova 24" with Steady Grip for about 550/600 + choke and then sell my ShurShot and turn the 870 into HD or slug gun....I'd have to find this at Cabela's and they dont list this combo on their site as available...
I've ruled out the Mossbergs (i saw and handled one recently and wasn't into it), and I dont think there are other manufacturers/models with camo patterned, short barrels with grips available to consider.
I REALLY like using the grip on my shotgun for turkey hunting, I can hold it still MUCH longer.
Cant decide!!!! Any opinions? Anyone have a similar 'where to spend my money' dilemma?
I would go with choice 1. You are already familiar with the 870 and have the chokes.

I would go with number 1
number 1 choice,
Thanks for the feedback, and for confirming the way i was leaning. ordered the new barrel from midway last night!
Choice #1. I bought a turkey barrel for my 870 express this summer. I put a jellyhead .665 on it and shooting hevi-shot magblends with great results.
