Default Re: Winchester model 1300

Kinda like saying you want a Ferrari and a offroad vehicle in one package.

What I mean is that you want a gun to do 2 completely different things. A turkey gun generally is a tightly choked (maybe long barreled) longer range shotgun in a woods camo; a "tactical" shotgun is generally a extended mag open choke shorter range shotgun.

If you want to consider the ammo, a turkey load preferred by guys that like brutal punishment is a 3.5 inch 12 ga. You do not state what your gun is chambered for. You may want to look for one of the "defender" type short barrels for your gun and just buy different barrels to fit your needs or look at Brownells for the extra full extended (exterior choke) tubes and see what you think.

Unfortunately, this is the reason that many guys "need" (or make an excuse to buy) a new made to play the game shotgun. Just like the trap guns are not the greatest for skeet regardless of the choke.
