Longstreet
A couple of things I noted:
1. If you are going to be shooting skeet/trap or moving targets, rifle sights aren't going to work very well. You slap, not squeeze, a shotgun trigger.
2. RE: turkey hunting. Barrel length is irrelevant. Choke is important. If you can afford it, get a gun with screw-in chokes.
3. Barrel length: long barrels are fine if you are standing around a trap range. They can help your swing a little. However, if you are hunting or carrying the gun for any distance, a longer barrel means you are carrying more weight. Shorter means lighter, and easier to aim around a tree.
4. I understand needing a rifled barrel for slugs. But why would you need a rifled barrel to shoot inside? Inside what? What is your intended target?
5. If you are in law enforcement, buy a tactical gun. If you are going to use the gun recreationally, but want to have it handy to shoot an intruder, buy a reliable shotgun---take the money you save, buy ammo, and become proficient with whatever gun you buy.
6. If you are considering spending $950 for a tricked-out 870, don't buy anything until you have test-fired a benelli autoloader. Trust me, I own both.
