Mossberg 835.. I bought it 2 years ago and really like it! The recoil reduction system by Mathews really works on those 3 1/2"!!!

I have a stoeger p350 turkey edition with the pistol grip and 24" barrell, I really like it for the price
I've hunted w an 835 since the early 90s but am in the process of looking for a Ithaca Turkey Slayer
Hard to beat an 870....
Mossberg 835 would be my choice there hard to beat, I've hunted with one for years there a shooter price is not bad on them either.
870 Max Gobbler
870 Super Mag Turkey/Predator edition! 23" barrels, Shurshot stock, full camo, and comes with a TRUGLO red dot sight!! I've owned mine for two years and I love it!!paired with the right chokes and ammo, it is a killing machine. Very compact and maneuverable also. Only thing is did personally was removed the red dot and put on a scope!!
I have shot an 835 since they first came out for coyotes and turkeys. Originally bought it for coyotes though since that is what I mainly love to do. They kick like heck with 3.5" shells, pretty much kill on both ends so to speak, but...good, tough pump guns that shoot great imo. I have drug one around to 4 or 5 different states predator hunting and never had a problem. I really never shoot 3.5" loads anymore so I have switched over to the Mossy 930 auto, turkey version. Its 3" only. Love it for predator hunting.

Seeing a buncha 835 votes. Some of the reasons that gun is so great is the way it was built. The barrel is over bored. Basically a ten gauge barrel so the shot has more room to not get distorted bouncing down the barrel. The forcing cone is open which also aids in protecting the shot. Cramming a bunch of lead down a barrel n expecting it to perform as many makers have done w 3-1/2" guns is why so many guys find superior patterns when using 3" shells instead.
835 is about the perfect turkey gun
Another vote for the 835. I've owned one for about 10 years now, very dependable, plenty of chokes for Your perfect pattern, they put up Great numbers with the overbored barrel and they won't break the bank. Good Luck with whatever you choose.
More money, yes. More gun, yes. That said I'm looking hard at a Browning BPS. I'm not an auto fan or it would be Benelli.
