Tallied responses to the post by Ladyluck for giggles.

Here's how forums members' turkey guns of choice shake down by popularity:

Remington 870... 12

Mossberg 500... 6

Mossberg 835... 6

Winchester 1300... 5

Benelli SBE... 3

Benelli Nova... 2

And one tally each for these:

Winchester Super X2

Mossberg 935

H&R Pardner

Remington 1100

Remington 11-87

Remington SP-10

Benelli M1

I only counted the first gun mentioned if there were multiples (unless I knew there were multiple hunters) figuring that to be primary gun of choice or use. 41 guns is not a super-accurate gauge (pun intended) of what's being used. But I'll bet if you had a sample 10 times that large, the top 4 vote getters would probably remain the same or very nearly so.

I'm not surprised by those numbers either Don. Popularity usually boils down to price more than anything else. I have an 870, an 11-87, and a SBEII. My Benelli is the one that hits the woods these days for several reasons but mainly because it's lighter. All will throw good shot patterns with the right choke/shot shell combination but my Benelli combination performs a little better than the other 2. All have killed turkeys though.

I wonder what the popularity of choke tubes would look like?
