I'm looking to take my 870 home defense and turn it into a turkey gun but I am unsure which barrel to look for...is there a specific barrel I should get? I would like a 23" but I wouldn't rule out a 26" but it must have a choke tube, any suggestions? thanks, Anthony

IMO the 26" is perfect or turkeys and it is also a decent choice for other hunting such as waterfowl, doves, and quail.
It is a versatile barrel length and will work good for most applications. We have done so much for so long with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing!

Length of the barrel is not nearly as important as choke/pattern for turkeys.
I've taken birds with barrels ranging from 24" to 28". If I had better sights and choke tubes on my 18" barrel I would use that one.

I just bought this barrel which is a 21" turkey barrel with an extra full turkey choke from Midwayusa.com. They had the best price I could find and the barrel gets great revies. |
