I'll use either a 20 gauge 870 compact, or an 11-87 compact in 20. Also, at some point, if I get real serious about killing a turkey, I'll carry my first real turkey gun, a Winchester 1300 12 gauge Turkey model, with a Hastings choke. Best patterning shotgun I've ever owned.

The funny thing is, about 10-12 years ago, I bought a Benelli SBE2, 3 1/2 inch, camo. thought I had the turkey killingest gun on the planet. Never mind that the darn thing kicked like a mule, as it would kill a turkey at 60 yards every time. Hunted with a few years, then went back to the 20's and a 3 inch 12. I haven't touched the Benelli in going on 5 years now, and probably won't again this year.
