Title: 20 Gauge gun recomendations
Post by: econo on March 08, 2011, 10:53:10 AM
What would be a good 20 gauge pump that you would recomend? Something at a good price with screw in chokes? and if you know about what they cost. Does not have to be camo, although that would be nice.
It would be used for turkey's

Thanks

Hard to beat the 870 with the amount of knowledge on this forum on their patterning, plus their is no other gun with as many accessories available..

X1000   You just can not beat it overall.  Everybody makes things for it.  You can get a 26" barrel in Black for around $315.  Go to the basspro website and they have one with a 22" barrel I think that is camo, hard to find a Remington 870 20 gauge in Camo in my experiences of searching.

For the money, this choke puts up good numbers.  Look at its numbers, they are all over this site.
