[QUOTE="vog2hunt, post: 1883766, member: 78243"] I have and shot both. I will say, i may have gotten lucky but the Mossberg shot great in two load attempts. The Rem took a bit longer to figure out. Both shoot amazing now, i don't feel ethical shooting at turkeys at the distances these guns could do it. Mossberg pros: made for turkey hunting (over bore = less pellet deformation) Cheaper Readily available chokes/replacement items (stock, sight, scope base) Cons: kicks like an ill tempered mule (i only shoot it once a year, i forget how much it kicks by then) trigger gritty, not important with turkey hunting in the moment Rem Pros: more robust sounding and functional build (feels better) Readily available chokes/replacement items (stock, sight, scope base) (maybe the most common shotgun ever) Find them anywhere Cons: More Expensive compared to the Mossberg Can take some work to find a load, I own 4 and 1 came ready to play, 1 took a few chokes to find one that it liked, 1 took a ton of work (lengthen forcing cone, polish barrel, high end choke, hand loaded shells) to get to the turkey killing levels i want [/QUOTE]
