If you had to pick one to turkey,duck and deer hunt what would it be. I'm really limited on funds now and need a do it all gun. The less money the better.

Find an older 870 or a bps.

Go to walmart and get you an 870.  They are under $300. There ain't a thing wrong with the Mossberg 500 either and they are cheaper.  Both will do whatever you want for a long time.

870.  Endless options.

I agree with Highball . Remington 870 . Maybe an express 3.5 , 26 inch barrel , synthetic stock .

 :toothy9:Remington 870, SM. Chokes for small game and get a rifled barrel for slugs for big game.
Hunted like that for a while.  :camohat:
As a matter of fact tho, Uncle Sam uses the Mossberg 500 in his arsenal with two changes to what you and I buy off the rack: metal safety button and trigger guard. I'd say that's a pretty good endorsement of the 500!

My 26 inch 870 SM. It's a no brainier with all the parts for it so widely available and it's natural versatility.

I would say the 870 is s great gun. Stood the test of time n than some. I have a ton of remingtons, love em all. That being said the Mossberg as much as I hate to say it is a better all around gun wity the overbored barrel so you don't deform shot on the shot, forcing cones lengthened to help w same, and the variability to shoot 3-1/2" shells well. Many guns can't do what the Mossberg does because of its features. Remington in general makes a more quality price but one gun my money goes to Mossberg

on a budget; this is your answer.  The mossberg maverick @ walmart is under 200.  It takes all of the same xhokes and barrels as the mossberg 500. Google the reviews on it. My son and I use one for duck hunting and have never felt handicapped with it m

Wholeheartedly agree....and also someone suggested Wal-Mart....that a good bet as well,I PERSONALLY would stay away from mossberg,I firmly believe Remington is a waaaaay better quality gun and will hold up alot better and longer ....but thats just my opinion. Good luck!!!!!
