I am planning to buy a shotgun for turkey hunting in the next couple of weeks. I don't have one that will work for that purpose at this time.
Both of these guns are 12 gauges, 3.5" chambers (although I'll shoot what patterns best). The shorter barrel loses approximately 15 feet per second per one inch of barrel that is missing from what I've been told. So, is 90 feet per second such a big deal that I buy a shotgun with six more inches of barrel? I really want the short barrel for a handy short shotgun. On the other hand, The Browning could be a Turkey and Duck gun and would probably be a smooth shooting shotgun.
1) Browning Silver, Automatic, 26" barrel, drilled and tapped receiver, will have to purchase an optic rail and a turkey choke. $700 Cash/Trade value
2) Remington 870 SPS Turkey, 20" barrel, drilled and tapped receiver with TruGlo optic included, complete with turkey choke. $550 Cash -$50 Remington Rebate = $500 Cash
