Dave, NEF offers a 10ga. Turkey with a 24" barrel, but it weighs in at 9 lbs. instead of the 6 lbs. of the 12ga. Turkey model.
If I had an NEF Turkey gun in 12 ga., I think I'd shoot very few rounds of those
3 1/2" lead loads! I bought ten rounds of 3" turkey loads years back when I bought my first NEF Pardner (28" barrel no recoil pad). I still have 9 rounds of that stuff and those rounds will be reserved for turkey when I've applied plenty of Dentucreme to my permanent teeth!
Most of my shooting would be conducted with 2 3/4" stuff throwing 1 1/8oz. of shot or less. If I wanted to bust, 75-100 clays or so, I'd probably be using 1 oz. or 7/8 oz. handloads.
I'm going to have one of my Handi-Rifles fitted with the 3 1/2" Turkey 24" choke tube barrel. I'll let you know how it works out!
Regards! DaMan
