I wanted the 21" barrel that comes on the youth gun. That is why I got mine.
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

Last couple years I've used a Winchester 37 12 ga. No complaints. I've enjoyed going back to simple.

I wanted the 21" barrel that comes on the youth gun. That is why I got mine. I looked at one this weekend. That is a nice barrel length. I checked Midwest Gun Works to see if they have those in stock. They do list them in 12 gauge, but they aren't in stock. If anyone is interested, you can put yourself on tne "Notify Me" list. Once enough interest builds up, they may get some in. RemArms is delivering parts, now. https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/F240333I put myself on the Notify Me list for the 12 gauge Mossberg 500 20" vent rib barrel. Within 2 months, I got an "In Stock" notice, though I never bought it. Still in stock. https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/90119m

I got mine for a really good price. I went to the gun range to shoot sporting clays and saw it listed on the board. I call the guy and he had just left the range, so he turned around and 10 minutes later I had bought it. I came home drill and tapped it for a rail, put a red dot on it, changed the trigger spring out, as well as the stock and I was good to go. Right place at the right time (for once) all the pieces fell into place.

I picked up the Nikon Monarch scope that was in the classifieds here, has the turkey-plex reticle. So now, looking for another turkey gun to put it on! Lol! The gunstore I like to go to has a Mossberg 835 that's been in the consignment rack for a while and it's under $300. Short barrel, factory turkey choke tube, factory woodland camo, and like a lot of 835's, not shot a lot. Receiver is D&Ted, so wouldn't have to do that. An 835 isn't my first pick, and not interested in 3-1/2" shells, but the price makes it attractive! Ha! The shop also has a very nice Benelli M1, advantage camo, with both a 24" VR barrel and a rifle sight slug barrel, very nice condition, for under $900. Decisions, decisions!

Iโm with ya Deanโฆ I canโt find love for any 3-1/2โ shells. ๐
Never tried a scope on a turkey gun but Iโm going to give it a whirl this season. A 1-4 or possibly a 2-7. Seems like I have a fixed 2x or 2.5x Leupold somewhere in the stash. Probably set it up on a 21โ Rem 870 that I put together. Had it drilled and tapped. Weaver picatinny rail, Indian Creek tube, Win Long Beard 6โs or the factory super full. Both pattern well.
Always fun to try something different ๐ช

For anybody who hasn't turkey hunted with an optic whether that be a red dot or a scope you are in for a treat! Started out with a weaver on my 835 and have since put some kind of optic on everything I chase turkeys with
