Turkey guns?

A buddy at work needs a new gun. He wants a semi-auto and was wondering if a 3" shell is good enough or should he get one chambered for 3 1/2"? He's just getting into turkey hunting too.

I have a gun that shoots all three, and have only ever bought one box of 3 1/2" shells.......I still have a few left if I'm not mistaken......they hurt way to much to shoot on a consistant basis.

I like my 3 1/2 browning gold, semi-auto.
Seems that you can reach that extra 10-15 yards where the always get hung up out of reach. For the kick, I don't feel anything when I have a big tom infront of me. :cheers:

You're not paying for a stay at the Hilton, you're paying to participate in nature. Anything can happen.

The 3.5 inch gives a little more shot, but not necessarily anymore velocity, which many people seem to think is the case.

I don't think there is a turkey or goose out there that a 3.5" shell will kill, that a 3" shell won't.

Changable chokes, matt black or camo and as short as possible for ease moving to a shot. 3" is fine, no need to hurt yourself.
