 I have been wanting a sa-459 in a 20 also but haven't been able to find one locally. I've switched to a 20 about 4 years ago and love it. Im shooting TSS out of mine that a friend loads for me, it throws a great pattern but its almost to tight.

 I will be taking my nephew to my lease for youth weekend so hopefully we can get him his 1st bird.

If you want to shoot one, let me know Jason.  I am in Quincy and you are welcome to come over and shoot it.  I bought mine at BP in Tally.  They had one in 20 and one in 12.

I got my 12GA sa459 from BP also .went there with every  intention on getting a 935  but once I picked up the sa459 I could not put it down .

LOL  Same here.  it was one of the 20s I was considering, but once I held it, it went home with me.

Thanks for the offer and I might take you up on it, we are not close but not to far from each other, Im in Crawfordville or just north of it  . I actually need to go shoot mine to make sure its sighted in and get some fresh batteries for my red dot.

I didn't get a chance to scout this weekend due to some dirt bike racing but I hope to slip out tomorrow morning and scout a few places before work.

I sure do know Austin ! he's a good guy and loves hunting and fishing. Have you been fishing yet in your new boat? Ive been thinking about trying  to sell my offshore and get a flats boat but haven't totally committed yet. I use to have a flats boat then went to offshore now I have been wanting to fish inshore again....guess i need 2 boats lol

nice, maybe we can get together one day. I haven't been to BP to check on one yet.

Thanks brother. I did some scouting this morning and herd nothing .the wind was crazy today .just let Austin use my Dakota extreme jake for the season .i have had  very good luck with it in the past but felt bad about not buying the American made DSD  :smiley-patriotic-flagwaver-an the Dakota extreme is a knock of DSD.i can’t believe how much more realistic the DSD looks .im going to setup up close to Tallahassee Saturday so I can be at work by 9:00 but Sunday and Monday I will be around sopchoppy . Looks like my boat will be ready tomorrow.good luck this weekend.Austin is hunting an insane spot ,his place is loaded with turkeys  :welcomeOG: .
