I'm looking for a 12 gauge pump shotgun to use for shooting duck, turkey, etc. Pretty much an all around shotgun and I was wondering which 12 gauge pump would be the best.

The "best" one will be the one from a major manufacturer, that fits you best. Not too many real dogs to look out for among pump guns that I know of. A 3" gun will probably cover 95% of the needs out there, but if you are a masochist, they make three and a half inchers too.
The Remington 870 Wingmaster is a joy. The Expresses are built to a budget, but fill the bill just fine for many a shooter. Ten million people are very probably not wrong.
The BPS is a fine gun. A tad heavier than an 870, and definitely feels different. It requires one to load through the magazine, which some people (okay - me) really don't like - so think about it, but in return it is completely ambidexterous, with bottom ejection.
Winchesters have a loyal following. I have shot a 1300, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Mossberg has a large following and have models to suit your taste from a little less finishing than an 870 Wingmaster to neck and neck with an Express. Some people like the thumb safety location better.
