I thought you just said you wanted something light? I'll take my Benelli M2 20 ga and shoot with any 12 made. All you needs a good choke and some Nitro#7s... Its light as a feather. Killed one at 54 yards. That he was actually closer. Its a bad lil setup.

The grandson and I share a 20ga Mossberg 500.
I've taken a few at 40 yards.
Get them close enough and you don't need a gun that rips on your shoulder.

Tru-glo sight and a Kicks Gobbling Thunder turkey choke. Any bird inside 40 yrds is done no kicking or flapping. Anchors birds out to 60 yrds.I use 3 inch federal turkey loads.Those 3 1/2 inch shells will leave a mark. I used to use them.

12 gauge 835 mossberg. 3.5 ulti mag with a good turkey choke. Get the tactical with the thumb hole seems to help alot compared to my other 835 without. If you want to use mine your more than welcome to see if you like before you by one. Im going to try the bow thing this yaer again so then i can hunt all 4 seasons.

i've had a few over the past 20 yrs,and i like the remington 870,and the winchester 1300,never had any luck with the mossberg 835,but we have a mossberg 500 20ga that kills out to 40 yards....put a kicks comp choke in about any shotgun,and it will be a turkey slayer!
