I have a navy Arms sXs 12 ga., have killed a couple dozen turkeys with it. It is a 35 yard gun with copper plated 6s.

dang if I remember, I've had it for over 30 years.
I think it's called a Trap and Turkey model, 28" full and full.

Y’all ever heard of anyone having a 50 cal drilled out to 20 ga? I think it’s about 62 cal.

A 50 barrel would be too thin to get .62 out of . You could possibly get to .58 if you have the right barrel , if not .54 is about it. if you have 1” across the flats of the barrel you might could depending on the depth of any dovetails or site screw holes.but most need 1 1/8.

I ordered one from Cabelas about 30 years ago that had choke tubes. It was about 700 best I remember back then. Pretty pricey for a MZ but it is a turkey killer. It also kicks like a mule. Patterns very good with copper 6's like Troy stated above. I never shot anything else for several years turkey hunting because this did such a good job.
Don't know if Cabelas still carries them or not, but I would check.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the advice teacher. I ended up with a TC New Englander with screw in chokes. Have not patterned yet.
