I like my pedroseli SXS 12 gauge. Or my single shot Tingly. For goose and turkey. :idunno:

My vote 10 ga. D Pedersoli.
It fits me well which makes for comfortable shooting.
Has worked great on waterfowl.
Tried very hard to work up a turkey pattern in my 10 ga.double..with choke tubes.
.never hit the sweet spot that I wanted.
right barrel shot to the right
left barrel shot to the left
did not care to do the Kentucky windage game..with the center rib.
so now use a choked single barrel smoothbore for turkeys with front and rear sight.
My advice by 2 guns one for turkey one for waterfowl....stationary versus moving targets.
Good luck..Have fun!

I've owned two Pedersoli 10 gauges. The balance was WAY better with the one that DID NOT have the choke tubes, and it patterned better too! Still, realistically, 25 yard patterns with 110 grains 2f, two OP cards, and 1 1/2 oz #5 shot.

A 12 or a 10 gauge ML will do all you ask. There is no best given that question of which one over the other. With an ML you decide how much powder and pellets and sizes to put in each bartrl, each shot so you van make your shotgun act like a 28 gauge or an 8 gauge. The shooter makes the most difference.
