[QUOTE="ridgewalker, post: 2525655, member: 55998"] JME&O- I have taken a couple of dozen turkeys mostly with a 22 Hornet, but maybe 6-8 were with a Remmy 870 12 gauge with shortened 20” barrel and threaded for Carlson tubes. I have a hollowsight mounted on it with a circle and dot. It is quick handling and hasn’t failed me yet. #6 or #5 copper plated 3” magnum shot has helped. I personally prefer a sight and short barrel. The old timers who started the game used 30” barrels because of the sight radius helping accuracy. I don’t believe I ever shot one over 30 yards even with the 22 Hornet. A couple were less than 10 yards. Pretty exciting calling them in that close! Bottom line, both of your choices seem sound particularly if you can add a red dot sight and find a load that patterns well. Best of luck, because once you’ve called one in, you will be addicted!
