I do not hunt and have very limited experience with long guns. I'm sitting on a store credit after winning a raffle and don't want to shell out much extra cash or I'd be getting myself another HK pistol. I'm torn between a pump and semi. I'll probably take this out to learn turkey hunting with family members who regularly hunt. My sons will probably end up using this more than I will down the line. No need to make it HD tacticool. Thanks for your suggestions.
