What 12ga 3.5" Auto to Get?

[YoungGobbler]

Thank you for all the great advice!!  I've never held a versamax or most of the others mentioned here.  I'm on a budget but don't mind paying for quality.  Heck, I blow a lot of cash chasing birds all season already.  Would there be any preference in a turkey gun as far as gas vs. recoil operated action?

And do all of these manufactures offer a shorter 21-23" turkey barrel option over the standard 26 or 28"?

Thanks!!

I like the suggestion someone made about the franchi affinity . A good choice for a good quality-price. But for a shorter barrel, I think mossberg will be the ones offering the most options for short barrels.

Winchester makes a 24" barrel model of the SX4
