Like I said,if it's for turkey ONLY, then a Browning BPS in 10 ga is the ULTIMATE gun. I've proven time & time again that a Mossberg 835 with 3 1/2" and 2 1/4oz will NOT pattern as well as a 10 ga with 2 1/4oz shot.

If you want a semi-auto 12ga and don't have your heart set on shooting anything bigger than 3" shells, then I'd strongly suggest the Stoeger 2000. I absolutely love mine. Shoots everything I feed it reliably and well, and is very well made for a very good price. You could have one in camo for the low to mid $500's.

My friend has the Browning BPS 10ga., gorgeous shotgun, but he can not get it to pattern with any ammo, I use the the Mossberg 835, 3.5", 2-1/4oz. #5 HeviShot-13 with a Indian Creek Turkey Choke with great results

RE: Turkey Gun
I picked this up last season.........
Gun (D.ick's Sporting Godds exclusive) Remington 870 Sureshot Supermag 3.5" = $379.99
Scope, Mueller 2-7X32 Multi shot scope = $149.99
Choke , Indian Creek Black Diamond Strike = $63.99
Total = $593.97 + tax
It was pumping 180-200 pellets into a 10" circle at 40 yards on a dirty bore.
260-280 at 30 yards. [:-]
That's using the 3.5" Hevi shot 2.25oz #6 Hevi-shot.

RE: Turkey Gun
Love it Matt. I love the simplicity of a pump for a turkey gun. I want to get a dedicated turkey gun. I will be looking at 870 as one of my choices when the time comes. That or a Nova or Supernova.

RE: Turkey Gun
I have a Remington semi-auto SP-10 Magnum in 10 gauge firing 2 1/4 oz. 3.5 inch magnums in #4 which definitely patterns better than a 12 gauge using 3.5 inch magnums. One reason I like the SP-10 better than the Browning because the 11 pound SP-10 is heavier weapon which provides a more stable shooting platform and less felt recoil. Unfortunately, the SP-10 is well beyond the $500 price range but it is the strongest most robust shotgun you will ever find and will last for generations. It is also great for waterfowl and can be used for upland game other than turkey if you do not mind carrying this massive gun in the field.
