Best Deer/Turkey Shotgun

Recommended Posts

Ground blind, pump shotgun, 12 ga. So far my heart's set on a Browning BPS Hunter simply for it's bottom ejection being a natural lefty. Also like the Mossberg 835 Ultra Mag with deer/turkey barrels in camo pattern. Other than those two I am looking for a few more suggestions so when I drive to Cabelas in PA, I'll have options if they're out of stock on one or another. Thanks.

Both the BPS and 835 have overbored barrels and should throw nice patterns for heavy turkey loads. Both can be had with with a rifled slug barrel for shooting modern sabots for deer. The Browning is all-steel, has a 3" chamber, while the 835 has an aluminum receiver and a 3.5" chamber. Pick the 3.5" chambered gun if you feel the desire for waterfowl although it's not imperative. I have seen how well an 835 throws a pattern of 2 oz. of lead shot with a 3" shell, but I also like the design of the Browning. (I also roll my eyes when I see something called "Tactical Turkey" that Mossberg offers in the 835, but I suspect it sells like hotcakes.) Pick the shotgun what feels and shoulders the best for you and run with it.
