Hey guys. I finally bought a 20 guage. Its a Mossberg 500 20 GA. It has a hardwood stock. The background check got delayed. So im gonna go pick it up tomorrow. I was wondering if any of you guys have any experience with this gun. Patterns maybe?

Look in the last 12 threads wherever you see Mossy or Mossberg.

I have used a a 26" Mossberg Mdl 500C as my primary turkey gun since 2000. I am extremely pleased with it's performance. I smacked a 25lb Merriams gobbler this past April at 42yds. I was shooting Winchester® Supreme® High Velocity 3" Mag 1 5/16oz #4Pb (#STH2034) through a Wrights® Swarm™ .555" choke; and put 19 pellets in his head and neck. The bird was dead before his beak hit the dirt!

There are a lot of fine turkey loads available to you. (I'll try to dig up some patterns.)
