Best pump turkey gun

[Curtdawg88]

I love my 870, but I hear good things about Mossy just haven't shot or hunted with one.

The best pump gun made is a Rem 870 Wingmaster. The cheaper grade 870's or several other brands make excelent turkey guns.

I love my 835. It patterns great, and I don't find the recoil to bad with a Simms Limbsaver pad on it.
Now, I have never shot an 870, but there are so many guys on here that post up some awsome patterns out of them, that it boils down to personal preference, and what feels the best to you.

870 all the way.

The best pump gun made is a Rem 870 Wingmaster.

I will happilly aquiesce to that statment.  Very smooth, virtually bullet proof guns, and in the magnum I would not look any further for a waterfowl gun either!

Most guns build today are reliable. They have to be to get a piece of the market. Consumers are alot smarter and have more info due in part to the internet.Some people like the Benelli Nova. I have a friend who has a Stoeger and he likes it. Most all of them will kill turkeys at 40 yds. plus. I would check out several. Get a feel for them. When you find the one that fits you you will know it.Also check out Winchester Arms.com and look at thier new pump.

I have two pump shotguns that I use for turkey hunting purposes.

one is a winchester 1300 matte finished with a 22" rifle sighted choke tubed barrel.

the other is one of the original 870 special purpose shotguns with a 26" vent ribbed barrel.

I like both of the above shotguns quite well for turkey hunting.

also have a 870 express 20 gauge with a 26" ventrib barrel that I am considering fooling around with to see what kinds of patterns I might be able to get from it.

They are heads and tails ahead when it comes to f the quality and design.rest.  Remington 870 is next.   Just feel the difference in raw materials.  

However, REM.870 has the market cornered on customization for Turkey Hunting.

I like the Mossberg. It shoots great, comes with an adjustable trigger and is drilled and tapped for a scope or red dot which I like on my turkey gun.

I agree K9, I have an Ithaca 37.  Only shot it once, at a sporting clay range against a buddy who shoots sporting clays all the time.  It was my first time doing this and I smoked him and his fancy over/under. 

Imagine, I never got invited back....

But my go-to for me is the Winchester 1300.  I like the balance, the weight, the way it cycles, and the way it points when I shoulder it.
