“turkey shotguns”

Now that modern loads can turn sub-gauge shotguns into true turkey killers, it’s time to get a modern sub-gauge shotgun. The SA-28 Tactical Turkey is a small-framed semi-auto gas gun with a 2¾-inch chamber designed specifically with that in mind. At only 39 inches long, this 6-pound featherweight sports a straight stock and a contoured pistol grip, providing a short but maneuverable 12.75-inch LOP. 

Mossberg International, Inc. is importing three new turkey guns to expand the SA-Series of autoloaders: the SA-20 and SA-28 Turkey Pistol Grip shotguns, and the SA-20 Turkey.

Mossberg has added optic-ready versions of their venerable 500 and 835 Ulti-Mag pump-actions to their extensive line of turkey shotguns.

Designed for hardcore turkey hunters, the SL5 semi-auto 12-gauge shotguns accommodate 2¾- and 3-inch shells and feature an 18½-inch deep-drilled, chrome-lined barrel with a stepped rib for precise alignment.

The new 940 Pro Turkey features a choice of a 24- or 18.5-inch barrel, a HiViz fiber-optic sight for quick target acquisition, Mossberg’s X-Factor ported choke tube for improved pattern density and is covered in Mossy Oak Greenleaf camo.

Hardcore turkey hunters can now rely on the venerable Affinity platform to hunt elusive toms with the introduction of the new Affinity Turkey shotgun, available in 12- or 20-gauge.

The new bolt-action Model 220 Turkey shotgun features a blued, 22-inch carbon steel barrel, Savage’s AccuFit adjustable stock system, a user-adjustable trigger pull weight and a detachable two-round box magazine.

Here's a list of five great turkey shotguns that can be found on store shelves for under $500.
