Get yourself a Mossberg 835, it was made for turkey hunting, at almost 1/2 the price

I think if i were in the market for a new shotgun, id only consider a remington 1187 and a benelli, both perhaps in 3.5" shells for turky, though my 3" seem to work fine.

I think the SureShot would be a great gun. I'm assuming that this new gun will be a "turkey only" gun?

*For the money* neither a Rem 1187 or a Mossberg 935 (in that order)will let you down.

If i were getting a new 11-87 i would look at the thumbhole before the pistol grip. I didnt like the way the pistol grip shouldered. just my .02
