Description
The Savage Renegauge Turkey 12ga 24 in Mossy Oak Bottomland is a dedicated turkey hunting semi-auto built to tame heavy 12-gauge loads while cycling light target shells reliably. It uses Savage’s D.R.I.V. gas system to cut felt recoil and adjust for different shell power, making it a great choice for family hunts where youth and new shooters share the gun. The 24-inch ventilated-rib barrel gives you fast handling in tight cover, and the Mossy Oak Bottomland finish keeps you hidden from keen turkey eyes.

Key Features
- D.R.I.V. Gas System – Dual Regulating Inline Valve adjusts gas pressure automatically for different shell power. Why it matters: Lets you shoot light target loads for practice and full-powered turkey loads for hunting without changing parts, and it reduces felt recoil by up to 30% (per Savage Arms).
- Adjustable Stock – Comb height and length of pull adjust with included shims and spacers. Why it matters: A perfect fit for growing youths or different shooting positions, so everyone in the family can shoot comfortably and accurately.
- 24-Inch Ventilated-Rib Barrel – Lightweight and quick-pointing with a mid-bead and front fiber-optic sight. Why it matters: Fast target acquisition in thick woods or open fields, and the rib reduces mirage on warm spring mornings.
- Mossy Oak Bottomland Camouflage – Full-coverage camo pattern on stock and receiver. Why it matters: Blends into early-season turkey habitat without glare, keeping you hidden when a gobbler comes into range.
- Reliable Semi-Auto Action – Cycles 2-3/4″ target loads and 3″ magnums without adjustment. Why it matters: No fiddling with gas settings—just load and shoot, which is ideal for beginners learning follow-up shots.
Who It’s For
The Savage Renegauge Turkey is built for families who hunt together. It fits youth shooters and smaller-framed adults thanks to the adjustable stock, and the low recoil makes it easier for new shooters to stay on target. Experienced turkey hunters will appreciate the reliable cycling and camo finish that holds up in wet brush. If you want one shotgun that can serve as a training tool and a field gun, this is it.

FAQ
Does this shotgun come with choke tubes?
No, the Savage Renegauge Turkey does not include choke tubes from the factory. It accepts standard Invector-style chokes, which are widely available from aftermarket brands like Carlson’s and Patternmaster. You’ll need to buy a turkey-specific choke separately for best patterns.
Can I shoot steel shot through this barrel?
Yes, the 24-inch ventilated-rib barrel is steel-shot rated. However, you should use only chokes marked for steel or non-toxic shot to avoid damaging the barrel. Savage recommends checking your choke’s compatibility before using steel.
How do I adjust the stock for a youth shooter?
The stock uses a simple shim system for comb height and spacer system for length of pull. Remove the buttpad, add or remove spacers to shorten the pull length, and use the included shims to raise or lower the comb. Savage includes an instruction manual with diagrams. You can adjust it in about 10 minutes with a screwdriver.
Is this shotgun reliable with light target loads?
Yes, the D.R.I.V. gas system is designed to cycle everything from 2-3/4″ target loads to 3″ magnums without manual adjustment. Many owners report it feeds 1-ounce target loads reliably after a 50-round break-in period. That makes it a good choice for family practice sessions.
