Title: Mossberg sa-20 what barrel length?
Post by: YukonC on December 30, 2020, 11:06:02 PM
I have decided I want to put down the 835 for a while get a semi auto 20. I read something about the 26" barrels patterning better with the sa-20 but their turkey model is a 22". I plan on using a Indian creek choke and Apex or Federal tss #9. Also is there any difference in the youth model other than the stock length? I plan to put a pistol grip on and if there is not a difference that would be a good in between being a 24" model?

I have the SA 20 Turkey thug with the 22 inch barrel and I really like it. The pattern is awesome as I shoot a Carlson 575 non ported turkey choke and Federal TSS #9. I would go with the short barrel , plus the turkey model comes drilled and tapped. Mine even came with the rail. The gun is light and is a Gobblers worst nightmare! Good luck.

They are still
Offering a 22" barrel turkey model which I could just replace the stock with an adjustable pistol grip. How is your 40yrd pattern? That is the exact ammo I plan to use.
