New Shotgun Question .. (20ga )

[slicksbeagles1]

I have a sa08 compact and love it I shoot a IC .555 and heavy 13 #7. I must add that I was told by a weatherby rep that a regular stock would not fit so if you plan on using it for everything I would by the regular size Gun because the lop is 12 1/2 on the compact but for a dedicated turkey Gun your ok.I also wonder about the 3020 but have not handled one. what thread choke do they use?

I purchased the tristar viper g2 for my budget friendly 20 auto. Its light and gas driven. I was skeptical having never owned a tristar. However, I really like the feel and no problems so far. Around $550 out the door for the camo one.

Got a sumtoy 562 and apex 9s. 400+ in the 10 at 20yds and high 200s at 40yd.

Is turkey hunting going be the primary (or only) use for the gun?  If not, what is the primary use of the gun?

this will only be a turkey gun ..i was thinking on the franchi but lot of good talk on the steoger 3020.

Weatherby SA459 is hard to beat.  Love the little gun.  Used it all last year and killed a couple of birds with it already this year.   Patterns well will a IC 562 choke and 1 5/8 oz TSS 9s.

How many of these make the $600 budget?  I really would like to know, as I am curious, not really up on all the prices.  The SA 459 will not.  Just a tad over. I assume the SA 08 will not either.   

I know the 870 youth will make it, even with the tweaks you want to do and that includes a turkey choke.

With the 870 there is plenty of wiggle room on the $600 budget and makes a fine turkey killing machine.

The stoeger will make it with room to spare

Looks like patriot brown but he can confirm. That's what my M2 is in and it's the most popular brown and looks sick on a shotgun
