[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 1582925, member: 17889"] This may be what you've been advised against....by those "short shuckers" amongst us who have never learned to use their firearm correctly....but, Mossbergs Remington pumps have served military well in far more critical applications than turkey or upland bird hunting. I have been very successful using 20" Mossberg 835 Turkey Tactical for turkeys.....yes, they often overrun my position thus the tactical...:) :) :).....has pistol grip and collapsible stock....great for holding motionless extended periods in odd positions often found in dynamic turkey setups. The 835 allows lighter 2-3/4" , 3" or teeth rattling 3-1/2" shells.
