Benelli m2 20 gauge and a mossberg 835 as a dedicated Turkey gun.  The m2 can be used for everything you list, and the 835 can be used as big medicine for turkey. :drool:  I know it's not exactly what you asked, but this will cover any hunting situation.

If he only wants one, then the maxus or sbe2.

All the guns you list are good choices ... I have the SBE 2 and from experience that gun will do everything and is simple to take care of.... Few moving parts build very well... Like I said any of those guns will work but I like the benelli's

What ever gun feels the best in your dads hands. Obviously quality is not an issue as he has quite a budget so I suggest shouldering them all. He will know which one is best.

I am blessed to own all the guns named, except the Vinci. If I had to choose from that selection, I would go with the A400 Xtreme. The gun fits me well, the POA-POI is true and it's been dependable (the others have as well).

There is not a bad choice the group that you've mentioned. Of those however, I'd choose the Vinci (over the Super Vinci). It will do everything that's necessary for all those sports.

Thanks,

Of those I'd opt for a Benelli, but, my way of thinking is just buy a 3.5" 870, and use the other $1500 towards a Florida hunt.
