I'm looking for advice on a dedicated shotgun to use for turkey season. This has been my first time turkey hunting and I was able to take a very nice gobbler on the second day of season. I used my old Mossberg 835 and it got the job done, but wasn't ideal to use. I have no idea how long the barrel is, but it is LONG for woods hunting. I'd like something with a shorter barrel. It's also blued and wood stock, which I don't mind, but I notice a lot of people using camo models for their turkey guns. The other thing I don't like is the gun only has a front sight bead. I'd like something with a fiber optic sight, maybe with a front and rear sight set that can be adjusted when patterning. Having something that can attach a sling to would also be nice since I've been carrying decoys in and out each day.
I don't want to drop $1000 on a gun to be beat around in the woods, but anything $800 or less would be great. I'm not picky as to pump or auto, either would be fine. Any advice and recommendations would be appreciated!
