What's the best budget turkey gun

Nobody has mentioned the Rem Versa Max yet.

Bret Favre says they are more reliable than Wrangler jeans or some such.

Hard to find a versa max for $900

 My grandpa has a new versa max and it's a piece of crap

I just know that Cheaper Than Dirt has them for less than $900. Obviously there are others.

i picked up a versamax at bass pro for $847 -- rock solid gun, I've e run about 100 high velocity duck loads it already and it has a flawless function - like it way more than the other autos I've tried , in causing some twice the price

I have a brand new Sumtoy turkey choke for it , I'm going to wait for a nice day and run some fed #7 3.5 hw in it

I'd put the 870 before the 835 IMO though.  If it were me on the 900 dollar budget, I'd buy an 870, a good choke, polish the barrel, put a fast fire on it, and shur shot stock...that's a turkey killer, and its easy to carry and hunt with.  You'd have some money left to feel good about buying some Hevi 13.

  I have a mossberg 535 turkey thug model and for a little under 550$ it's a pretty darn  good pump shotgun for turkey hunting

I love my 3500, 1187, and 870. All have never let me down....

Remington 870 Express 20 ga., running a Sumtoy 562-5 choke, and putting Fed. HW 3" #7s through it.  Easy on the shoulder and a joy to pack.  There is just a special feeling I get from downing an old longbeard from forty yards with a twenty gauge.

I would think you could pick up a Winchester SX3 or a Browning Gold. These two guns are a pleasure to shoot. If you are open to a pump shotgun then an 835 hands down.

[surehuntsalot]

automatic would be a stoeger 3500
pump   would be a mossberg 835


in a 20ga
automatic would be a weatherby SA08
pump would be a 870

BPS in 20 or 12

 Hmmm, according to your other posts, you already have a tristar hunter mag,a 3500 stoeger,and a ten gauge h&r single?If I were you I would just spend some money on chokes and ammo,maybe an optic, to dial in one of those guns and keep the rest for gas to go scouting and hunt with.

I had a good "chuckle" when I read the title to this post then found out the the "budget" was a grand; things sure have (and are) changing; I shoot nothing but Remingtons and by no means will I say that there is "no other" out there, I just know that my 870(s) will do EVERYTHING that I need it to do in order to kill a turkey; if you have a 1000.00 dollars to spend on a gun, the choices are wide open to anyone with that kind of a budget AND just about ANY gun you can buy with that money will be a dandy for sure; I will just stay with my 870 and use whatever money I can afford to get me to the Turkey woods.

Get an 870 or 835 with a good choke and use the rest of the money on turkey tags!
