Quote from: bebo33 on February 05, 2013, 03:07:37 AMI'm in the market for a turkey gun. Turkey hunting is still VERY new to me and I've only been a handful of times. I've been carrying my Browning A2000 Semi/Auto that only shoots 2 3/4 shells, isn't camoflauged, and even though it plays havoc on doves and quail, it's NOT ideal for turkey. I've narrowed it down to a Mossberg 835, Remington 870 Express and the Benelli Supernova. I thought about a Stoeger p-350 (only because I found a deal on a used one), but heard they have issues. Things I'm looking for in this gun: hold up to 3 1/2 inch mag shells, totally camoflauged, vent rib, and tru glow sights. What do you guys think?

They would take a lot of the recoil from that big load. There is a lot of info on what chokes combos work best with these two gunsSince your new at this I would also like to offer some advice a little different than what you are wanting. With the technology of chokes and ammo these days, there is no need for the big huge 3.5 inch shells and 12 ga. It's wasted money and thumps to your shoulder. I would recommend a 20 ga. They shoot awesome with the HTL Hevi or federal factory loads or TSS hand loads. The factory ammunition cost half of a 12 ga. The weigh less, kick less, and in my opinion throw a better pattern than any 12 ga I owned in the past and they will still SMASH a gobblers face.
