It would be the gun I have now, SX3 with a IC.665, the only thing I wished I had was 20 more boxes of lot # 300325.

I am quite happy with my SP10 , but the looming problem with ammunition availability would cause me to alter my response to the question


assuming I as stuck on a desert island I could only have 1 turkey gun , with the facteor of ammo availability weighing in , I would choose a Remington  3.5 11-87 pistol grip , w/ rifle glo-dot sights for these reasons

1) Quality of item - 11-87 very reliable

2) Performance - 3.5 , very versatile ....  many combos and shells available

3) Soft shooting - Gas operated - I know some guys like the SBE's etc... I like them too , but the 1187 is soft shooter

4) Parts Galore ... you can upgrade , change or tweak any Remington product - there is unlimited aftermarket parts /remchoke 

5)Cost - these are steal you can get them for about half the price of a Euro autoloader --

I changed my mind!

Give me one of the following two:

Browning Cynergy 20 gauge
Mossy Oak Shadowgrass Blades dipped
SumToy chokes in both barrels
Barrels shoot dead on at 40 yards
Slinging Hevi 6's out of the top barrel putting 140+ in the 10 at 40
Slinging Lead 7.5's out of the bottom barrel putting 100+ at 25

OR

CZ 202B
20 gauge
26" Barrels
Double Triggers
Same choke and load as above

I have the CZ, just gotta get on the chokes! I have Carlson's 575 and 585 for it now and it is good to a MAX of 40 with Hevi 6's or HWT 6's. I need to run some HWT 7's through it.

Do far I am extremely happy with the 24" 12ga barrel for my TC Encore. Small, light and super simple to use for a turkey set up.

X2 ! !!!!! I currently have an 835 w/ Kicks Gobblin Thunder , it "replaced " my dream gun that was my older 835 I had that got stolen a few years ago w/ tru glo sights and the original Preston Pittman Choke tube aka eventually became Stardot, it was absolutely a turkey killer!

I own several turkey specific shotguns and I like all of them but if forced to choose one it would be my Benelli Super Black Eagle. It's topped with an old Leupold/Gilmore red dot sight and a Kick's GT .655 choke tube. That combo has been lights out for a number of gobblers including my most recent, bagged last Saturday on the first day of the Pennsylvania season. ;D

I guess I would have to say my 835 2000 made model with a original Star Dot choke. 

Best shooting shot gun I have seen with Hevi-13 3.5" #7's.

HoggleGobble please tell me you mounted that gobbler!?!
