Spring Creek Calls

Last year I bought a rather beat up 20 gauge 1300 and transformed it into what I hope will be the ultimate 20 gauge gun. A new Dura Kote paint job, new stock and forend and an assortment of chokes helped with the transformation.  Can't wait to run a 3" Longbeard #6 down the tube!

I like my full camo 24" barrel Benelli Nova.  I don't think you can go wrong with a Rem. 870 either and it's cheaper.  That Weatherby SA-459 sounds like a good one too.  There are a number of good 20 gauges on the market.

The set-up that suits me best is the M2 and some TSS loads.  I can get just about any 20 ga. with screw in chokes to shoot though.

It is the .562 lead only choke that came with the gun. Looks cool though!

I have a Winchester SX3 that seems to be a very solid performer. Sumtoy choke, heavyweight 7's topped with a Truglo sight.

I've only patterned the 870 youth and was amazed how well it patterned with both the H13 7s and also Fed hvy 7s. I have to agree I think alot of how they pattern is the shell and of course figuring out the right choke for your setup.

I have a Remington 870 i put together with an Indian Creek choke tube and a Franchi Affinity with a Carlson's choke.

I shoot TSS #9's in both. Both will put well over 300 pellets in a 10" circle at 40 yards.

I prefer the Franchi because it is lighter.
