Need some advice on picking a turkey gun.

How does everyone feel about Benelli, Franchi and Stoger

i am a stoeger fan, IMO it is the best auto out there for the money. You will not find a better auto (M2000) for under $500 to me. Heck you can still find the combos that have both stocks and 2 barrels for $500 new.

Why buy a M2000 when you can get the M3500 for basically the same money and have the ability to shoot 3 1/2" shells.

Can you put the M2000 piston grip on the M3500?

I can't think of a better turkey gun than the 870 Express.

a M2000 is a few hundred cheaper then a 3500 new (even more used as there are not many 3500 out there used for sale)

also if 3.5 is not a big deal to you then why pay the extra money? i gave up on 3.5 shells a long time ago.

a good question but I personally am not sure, i would think so but you are better off calling stoeger directly and just ask them.

As you all know, I am a rem man all the way; you already own a great turkey killer; as mentioned, get a 24 inch barrel, jellyhead choke, heavi-13 or remington nitro's, send it off to have it backbored and dipped in Mossy Oak Bottomland, scope or no scope, and hunt with confidence that there is no better;

Another 835 here! Put 4 knocks on the beast last year!
