I'm eyeing the 870 Fieldmaster although I dont need it.

I bought a Raptor 20ga at WallyWorld 2 years ago for my daughter. Put a Vortex Venom on it with a dovetail mount along with a Carlsons Turkey Choke. Really like the gun. I paid $299 for it to boot.

Any issues with the dovetail mount moving? Which mount did you use? The one I saw was a bit thicker, making the red dot a bit higher off receiver/bore.

I got one in 20 ga and you will need it if you get one

Semis under $600: Mossberg SA-20 Turkey, Weatherby Element Turkey, Stoeger 3020, Tristar Viper G2

Is it true these are all made by the same people

The Mossberg and the TriStar are both Turkish guns. I think both made by Armson (sp.)
Stoeger is made by Benelli but I think in a different factory (maybe Turkey also).

I think that's right.  The Mossberg and Tristar are both gas operated while the Stoeger and Weatherby are both inertia driven.

I got an M3020 compact this year and am very pleased with it so far. Only run maybe 50-75 shells through it so far, but I like it. I do wish the barrel was a couple inches shorter if I'm being nit-picky.

I like my 870 20 gauge.

Mossberg and TriStar seem to be pretty good guns.
Weatherby was having issues with their guns years back but that could well be straightened out.
Stoeger...I'd be leery of them. I know a lot of guys will be offended because that's "their" gun but I've read of so many problems with them.
Just my opinion...No offense to anyone.
