If I was buying a dedicated turkey gun and was hell-bent on shooting 3.5", I'd get an 11-87 Shurshot Turkey gun. At least being a gas semi-auto it would kinda help dampen the recoil a little. I've shot one a few times and love the shurshot stock on them. It fit me like a glove. EDIT: actually, even if I wasn't hell-bent on shooting 3.5's, if I ever do buy a dedicated turkey gun, that's still what it'd be. I just really like these guns.

1. Either of my 20 gauges with TSS will outshoot my 12 gauges with ANY factory load any day of the week;
2. I now have the following 12 gauge turkey guns that I will never use again: BENELLI SBEII 3.5" Beretta A400 Extreme 3.5" Browning A5 Remington 870 Supermag 3.5" Browning BPS 3.5"
I would have saved myself thousands of dollars in my quest for the perfect turkey gun.

you're not shooting the right factory loads...15g/cc in Fed HWs vs. 17.8g/cc TSS ain't that much difference. feel free to pm me or post ALL the 12 gauges listed...I'd be interested in all of them.

I'd buy a Benelli M-2 20 ga and never look at any 12 ga again. Lighter weight, faster pointing , and kills just as deadly and as far.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

It took a little getting use to the Cynergy because of the center of mass being further forward. It takes a little more effort to keep the muzzle up while waiting for one to come in. I imagine it would be this way on other double barrels as well. Not bad, just a little bit of a different feel. That's what I meant. There's nothing at all wrong with the gun. It's all I shoot for skeet/trap, dove, or ducks. I need to put some rifle sights or a venom on it, I'm sure that would make that much better. Do you have a sling on yours? I've taken it to 2 different shops that wouldn't tap it because of the butt stock's angle.

I've killed a couple of birds with my cynergy, but I prefer my 1187 SP for turkey hunting. IMO it points better from a sitting position. I have the comb on my cynergy set as low as I can and it still feels like I'm fighting to get down on the gun while sitting. Ive heard great things about the 1187 SP. Been thinking about getting one. 11-87 SPS-T for me. A turkey killing machine. My buddy sold his and bought a Benelli SBE and regrets selling the 11-87

For a dedicated turkey gun? Either a browning cynergy or cheap out with an 835 and out pattern all of them. Ride out here one weekend and I can show you differently lol Alright, put a case of beer on it?

I would take that $3,399 for a 12 gauge and buy an 11-87 and spend the other $2,899 on an acre of turkey land. hell , i'd just buy a old used 40$ single shot and buy a box of lead shells and just call the turkeys to 30 yards and kill hell out of them . geeeeeeee weeeeeeeeezzzzzzz i killed over 40 birds with a old T916 S&W , paid less that a 100$ for it back in 75 useing #6 lead shot. then i bought a bps 10ga after i got it and killed a boat load of more birds i find myself asking , why did i buy it .
