Title: O/U 20 gauge
Post by: tracker#1 on May 12, 2019, 09:07:16 AM
 In the market, looking for suggestions on a O/U 20 gauge, 24" or 26" barrel. Most likely sending it out to Sumtoy. What would you recommend ?

Love my beretta. Had local guy lengthen forcing combs and put two Jebs chokes in. .560 in the top and .585 in the bottom (goose choke). Running tss #9 in top and hevishot #7 in the bottom. Straight up wicked.  (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190512/a759c04a49d7ca34fe66753aa78ded70.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190512/44707492574a99c649d8caa250dd1a76.jpg)

I went with the Browning Cynergy Field 26” barrels. I'm shooting a 1 3/8oz. TSS Hand load through a Trulock .615 (skeet 2) choke out of the top barrel getting a nice 20” pattern at 25 yards with 250 in the 10”.
A Trulock .585 in the bottom barrel shooting 1 7/16 oz. TSS handload gives me the same pattern at 40 yds. Both barrels are dead on.
I took off the factory ivory bead and put a HiViz competition fiber optic on it. I'm trying to find some type of camo gun sock to use for turkey hunting, I really don't want to dip or coat it.

I just purchased a CZ upland ultralight green. Couldn’t justify dragging an expensive OU through the turkey woods. It has a matte black finish and a green anodized receiver. It is less than 6lbs and has no mid rib which makes it easy to attach a sling between the barrels. It shoots straight and the patterns I’m getting are slightly better than my m2 20ga.

There’s some spots where I guess it was scratched and was colored with a sharpie. The bottom of the barrel the film is pretty badly stretched. If had been an expensive gun I would have not been happy
