So my normal turkey gun is my Rem 1100 in 20 gauge. I only have a full choke barrel for it (can't put screw in chokes in it) and it can only take 2.75" shells so I'm limited to 25 yard shots or less. I have been looking for a new shotgun but haven't taken the time to put the money away for what I want. Anyways....my came across a Rem 870 in 20 gauge that can take screw in chokes and 3" shells.
Are all screw in chokes threaded the same? Or do I have to look for a specific brand?
What is a good choke to buy for turkey hunting? I don't need the best one, I want a good value and to not have to buy multiple ones to see what shoots the best. Darn near anything is bound to pattern better than my 1100.
Same basic question for shells. What is a good shell to buy? I've never bought "turkey" loads before (never found them in 2.75" 20) so I don't know anything about what is good vs the latest line of rebranded cow poop. The ones Joe was talking about which were 4s, 5s and 7s sound like an awesome idea.
I honestly don't know how much time I am going to get out but if I can get out and pattern this shotgun at least then I might have a better chance of knocking a turkey down if I have the opportunity.
Oh and final question, a 3" turkey load, going to recoil comparable to a 2.75" slug? or?
