I am close to purchasing a new shotgun for turkey season, kicking my self now for selling my Mossberg 500, I think I paid $150 bucks for it at Walmart back in the day. But wanted to see what others were using as far as barrel length for turkey. Some of the home defender types 18”-20” are less $$ but would it spread the shot to much even with a choke? I see one with 28” barrel but seems like a lot to swing with. I know I can buy different length barrels later but want to get something that is pretty close out of the box, the 10 day is putting me in a time crunch before the season opens and will still need a few days to pattern some different types of shot through it and get comfortable with it.
What length are you guys using? I am assuming 12 gauge is the go to gauge?
