I would def say rem 870 like all the others, just a great all around low cost gun.

Another option you might want to check out is at Dicks sporting goods right now. It's a camo'd mossberg 535 with the turkey barrel and a red dot scope, but also come with an extra field barrel for shooting birds/doves. It's in Mossy Oak camo and will only cost you 300$ which isn't alot more then the 870 will run ya. Plus it will let you shoot 3.5" shells which is one thing the regular 870 can't do.

We have two main guns in the family that both me and my father own. We each own a Mossberg 500( His is wood, Mines synthectic), and the Winchestor 1300 Speed Pump of which both of ares is the walnut edition. They are both amazing guns and have been through just about everything so either of those is a great gun to spend your money on.

most people should agree with me here, would be the remington 870 by far, most reliable and indestructable gun on the market, the gun will outlive you and you can get wood stock one for like 250-275, and synthetic for little over 300 bucks, no doubt in my mind if your looking for a gun for turkey hunting and dove hunting low budget and reliable i would go with the 870

I can't argue with that. 870 will do it all for a low price

I have a used (like new) 11-87 premier light contour...vent rib and 28" barrel that I'll sell ya! This gun is mint...its the older model that has the nice carving in the metal. I'd rate this gun at 98%...would be 100% if I didn't know it was used! Comes with all three chokes and hard gun case. Would like to get $575 +shipping if your interested....pm me. wink.gif

Another vote for the Winchester 1300!I've had mine for about 12 years and never had a single problem with it.It has a vent rib barrel with screw in chokes and a seperate slug barrel.This thing has hunted ducks in Minnesota,pheasants in South Dakota,deer and turkey in Illinois, and everything in between and never let me down.They will definately take some abuse.
