Stephens Model 320 in 20ga. I love all things 20ga! My shoulder cant handle shooting a 12ga much anymore, so 20 it is! Plus I had a neighbor give me like 700 rounds of 20ga ammo!

This year am going archery for turkey as am hunting a friend's back yard and nearby landlocked BLM land.
But for the years that I go shotgun, these days I pack the 12ga O/U with RMC brass shells with #7 TSS18 hand loads. I hunt turkey from behind a ground fence blind so don't care that the O/U isn't camoflaged. And my TSS18 loads are only 7/8oz of shot and 1650fps.....so it feels more like shooting a 20ga than a 12ga.
If weather will be wetter, I pack the waterfowl shotgun, Browning A5, with my waterfowl TSS18 hand loads.

I use the same gun for waterfowl, upland, turkeys, etc.: Remington 870 Express. I wore the factory finish off over the years, so I painted it a few years back.
For turkeys, I use the Remington Super Full choke and Remington Nitro turkey ammo. I get great patterns with that combo.

I run an SP-10 with the Remington Nitro turkey shells, #5 shot with and Indian creek choke tube.
(That way if I miss, I'll likely scare them them to death.) Man, does it bark!
