[QUOTE="REN, post: 5871152, member: 4849"] for that price Id go a decent semi auto personally. If you want a 20 gauge below is a great price on one [URL unfurl="true"]https://shopdunns.com/product/stoeger-m3020-20ga-26-barrel-syn-black-31853/[/URL] or [URL unfurl="true"]https://shopdunns.com/product/weatherby-element-20ga-26bbl-emh2026pgm/[/URL] for 12 gauge you can prob find a weatherby element on sale for around that or slightly over or a Stoeger M3000 for around your price. I just like semi autos better personally. If a pump is what you prefer then find a used 870. Id stay in the 26inch barrel range if possible for dual use. Ammunition comes down to what do you want to spend really. Winchester Longbeards are about the best lead option out there and they are not crazy expensive for turkey specific shells to use in a 12 gauge. For 20 gauge TSS is the best option but not the cheapest. No a shotgun barrel does not need to be broken in. However if you are trying to pattern it to see what the ammo and choke are doing then I suggest starting each time with a clean barrel so you have a true starting point to go by [/QUOTE]
