Question. If you was going to buy a new shotgun for turkey season what would it be? Brand, semi auto, pump, 3in or 3 1/2 thanks.

Id be torn between these 2 pumps
Remington 870 12 or 20
Winchester 1300

Most importantly hold the gun and see how it feels to you.

If I didn't have a gun suitable for turkey I'd go with an 870 super mag and use the money I saved to buy a choke and a few boxes of shells.

A dedicated turkey gun and you want semi-auto, hmmm: Beretta A400 camo mossy oak; Benelli M2; Franchi Affinity. You could save some money and get a Remington 1100 with a 28” barrel or an 11-87 or even a Browning Gold Hunter. The 1100 may not shoot the new shells, TSS, but it shoots the old copper stuff so well you wont miss it.

Been looking at the Weatherby in a 20. I’ve toted my SBE 2 w/28” barrel long enough. Think I’m ready to go to a dedicated 20 gauge, wouldn’t mind getting something me and my son can use


We are not perfect, only forgiven!!!

If you’re looking for a cheap semi auto 20 gauge, I just bought my son a Weatherby SA-08. They are all phased out except for the youth models, which you can find online at Buds for under $500. It functions just fine and has stock adjustment shims that can be used to fit the drop/etc better for an adult. It is not drilled for optics, however, but I bet you can get a set of Truglow front and rear fiber sights to fit that rail width. My son shot it with 3” heavy duck loads with no issue (he’s 11)

You’ll have to pry my 24” Winchester 1300 from my cold dead hands. I actually got a Stoeger 3020 that was going to be my primary gun and shoot TSS through it, but I just can’t bring myself to swap. The Stoeger has been relegated to wing shooting gun and backup/loaner Turkey gun for buddies.

In fact I’m probably about to have the Winchester dipped in either old bottomland or Greenleaf.

If you have any heart you will sell that 3020. I will be glad to take it off your hands. I'll also take a discount for it going to my sons.

Thanks

Orion understands. 2 barrels, 2 chokes, 2 choices. 5 lbs 6 oz. No worries about your gun loading the second shell. Much easier to load and unload, and you can do it quietly. If you use TSS, a 28 gauge is plenty, though mine is a 20 gauge. I can see using a pump or auto loader if that is what you already have, but as a dream gun? Nawww. Aim higher.
