Description
There's something right about carrying a wood-stocked pump gun into the turkey woods, and the Rock Island Armory Magnum Pump Turkey leans into that tradition without skimping where it counts. The 3.5-inch chamber handles the full spread of 12 gauge ammo, from light 2.75-inch field loads all the way up to heavy magnum turkey shells, so one gun covers your spring season and whatever else the year throws at it. The 24-inch smooth bore barrel with a vent rib keeps things quick-pointing in tight cover while the simple bead front sight gets you on a gobbler's head fast.
Built Like a Turkey Gun Should Be
The receiver is black anodized aluminum, which keeps the overall weight to a manageable 7.5 pounds even with the longer magnum action. Total length runs 44.2 inches, short enough to maneuver when you're set up against a tree but with enough barrel to burn heavy payloads cleanly. The tube magazine holds four rounds with one in the chamber, and the fixed walnut stock gives it a warm, classic look that stands out in a market full of plastic.
Choke Tubes Included with the Magnum Pump Turkey
Rock Island ships this one with Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder choke tubes right in the box. Screw in the Full choke and spend an afternoon patterning your turkey loads, then swap to Modified or IC when dove season or rabbit hunting rolls around. That flexibility is a big part of why this gun makes sense as a do-it-all field shotgun rather than a one-season safe queen.
Why the PA12MNL24 Earns a Spot in the Truck
Armscor and Rock Island Armory have built their name on straightforward, hardworking firearms, and this pump follows suit. Simple controls, a proven action style, and no gimmicks. If you want a magnum-chambered 12 gauge with real wood furniture that's ready to hunt out of the box, this one checks the boxes without complicating things.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Rock Island Magnum Pump Turkey shoot 2.75 and 3 inch shells?
Yes. The 3.5-inch magnum chamber handles 2.75, 3, and 3.5-inch 12 gauge shells, so you can run everything from light target loads to heavy magnum turkey shells through the same gun. That range is a big part of what makes it useful beyond turkey season.
What choke tubes come with the PA12MNL24?
It ships with three choke tubes: Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. The Full choke is the go-to for tight turkey patterns at distance, while the Modified and IC tubes open things up for upland birds, small game, or clays. Having all three in the box means you're covered for most hunting without extra purchases.
How heavy is the Magnum Pump Turkey and is it comfortable to carry all day?
The gun weighs in at 7.5 pounds with an overall length of 44.2 inches. The aluminum receiver keeps weight reasonable for a 3.5-inch magnum pump, and the 24-inch barrel makes it easier to move through brush than longer field guns. It's a comfortable carry for a morning of run-and-gun turkey hunting.
Does this Rock Island turkey shotgun have a rib and what kind of sight does it use?
Yes, the 24-inch smooth bore barrel has a ventilated rib topped with a bead front sight. That's the traditional setup for a turkey and field gun, giving you a clean, fast sight picture for head shots on gobblers or swinging on flushing birds.
