What turkey gun should I get? Need help!!

[kracey]

hey, i am hunting turkeys for the first time this year. I planned on buying the new remington model 870 SPS-T thumbhole stock shotgun. but they are to hard to get. My second choice was gonna be a 835 Mossberg Shotgun.

My question is what shotguns are good. Also i wish to have a 3 1/2; 12 guage shotgun. Any info would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks

Get whatever you like the best, what feels right to you. The remington 870, mossberg, and the wincheter 1300, are all good pump guns.

I personally shoot a 1300.

o got a 835 ultra mag! I love it! But hope to upgrade to a benelli soon!

[gfourhunter]

all you are going to get with this question is some(not all) people telling you what they shoot or like. what you really nead to do is shop around and fell them all . give them all a swing and go with what fits you best. WHAT WORKS FOR YOU WONT WORK FOR SOME ONE ELSE. i have rem. sps-t , winchester 2uper x 2 3/12 , mossberg 935 auto and 835 along with rem express. they are all good guns. just depends on what im hunting for. good luck and tell what you came up with.

kracey, it all depends on if you will use your gun just for turkey or if you will use it for other hunting. for just a turkey gun i would say an 835, 870, or even the benelli nova. if you want an allaround gun still the 870 will do you or a benelli SBE if you really want to fork out some $$. me personally, i shoot a beenlli M1-90 and love it. i do anytpye of hunting with it as far as birds( doves, quail, ducks) and even parttens great for turkeys!! hope this helps you some.

Check out the Mossberg 935 in Hardwoods Green HD.

I prefer a Rem. 870 over any Mossbergs...I would even look at the Win. 1300. There really isn't any bad guns out there, just have to handle some and decide what you want. How the gun fits and personal apperance is more important than the name on the side.

[maytom]

I agree with Snapper as well. I'm a Winchester 1300 shooter myself, I just like this gun better over the other two. Personal choice all the way here!!

The Ithaca Model 37 Turkeyslayer Storm is worth a look. I don't believe it is chambered for 3 1/2" shells though.

The Winchester 1300 is definitely a good choice. But, I believe, you said you wanted a 3 1/2" gun.........which the 1300 is not. if you want a good, sturdy 3 1/2" pump that feels good in the hands, get yourself an 870. You won't go wrong.

mossberg835 in new mossy oak, under 300 dollars, fiber optic sighhts hold23/4 and 3 and 3and1/2 magnums, folds em up like a cheap umnbrella at 50 yrds....proof is in the puddin'

i use a rem. 11-87 super mag. it does the trick every year even at 60 yds running.

[buckshot]

I bought a Ithaca Turkeyslayer Storm 2yrs ago and it is an awesome turkey gun but doesn't come in 3 1/2 " .

[kracey]

Thanks for all your help. I ended up getting a new Remington 870 SPS-T thumbhole 12 guage

but thanks for all your input

60 yards, running??

That's just plain irresponsible.
