I have a NWTF Gold with a 24" barrel and it patterns great. I use a Indian Creek .665 choke and H-13 3.5" 7's. It's my main turkey gun. I have duck hunted with it with great results but after putting a FFII on it I only use it for turkey. I've shot everything from low brass dove loads to 3.5" turkey loads with no jams. I think you would be very pleased with a Browning Gold.
