Trying to decide which direction to go on a turkey gun for next year. Probably selling my Beretta 3.5" gun to finance this project. Looking for:
12 ga or 20 ga. No 3.5" 12 ga
Light weight
24" Barrel would consider 22, 21 or 26" as well.
Factory drill and tap or speed bead compatible

Suggestions?

Loads and chokes these days, I’ll probably never carry another 12 for turkeys. You give up nothing but weight in a 20ga, if you know loads these days and patterning always.

OK, so recommendations on a 20 ga w/24" barrel? Or cut a 26 and rethread for chokes ?

For the money, it's hard to beat an 870 20ga Compact with a 21" barrel.


83% of all statistics are made up.

I'd have to find a used one to hit my price point but it's the Cadillac of my choices. Looks like the Franchi and Weatherby are going to hit my sub 6 lb limit and 24" barrel. Guess there's also the Mossberg SA20 that's close to the Weatherby too.

I picked up a stoeger 3020 this spring and love the little gun. Patterns tss well with factory choke, apex 9’s it’s putting 270 in a 10” circle at 40. It will be getting a SumToy choke and red dot mount in the next couple weeks & I have a vortex venom for it.


ROLL TIDE!!!!!!

They are junky little guns but they are cheap and effective and a pleasure to carry. I hate it that the quality is so bad though.
