I am toying with the idea of getting myself a 20 ga youth model to hunt with.I am very familiar with Remington but held a weatherby pa-20 and liked the feel of it any pros and cons of either one? Can I buy regular adult stocks to fit the youth models? What chokes does weatherby use? Thanks for the opinions

You are not wingshooting, so the shorter length of pull is not a disadvantage but gives you more range right or left for the cagey gobbler who appears in the wrong spot.

The Winchester SXP turkey in 20 ga is another nice one.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

Well I went to Brownells gun shop and decided on the wood youth 870 express. I filled out the paperwork and waited around for a half hour for them to get the gun up to the front the guy said it would be another 15 minutes before he had the paperwork finished so I sat there for another 5 minutes and he came over and said he couldn't sell me the gun because my drivers license had expired a few days ago. I also  had my permit to carry And I am still legal to drive for 30 days after my license expires but they can't sell me the gun. I have also renewed my license online it just hasn't made it to me yet. I feel like if I am still able to drive I should still be able to purchase the gun.The guy asked if I wanted them to hold it for me until I got my license.No thanks I will get it from somewhere else. I realize other stores may have the same policy but I guarantee that was the slowest gun purchase I have ever had.Sorry about the rant

sounds like you speak from experience!! Were you kind of ticked off like me? I know they seem to have some not so necessary policies but I was more mad about spending all that time on it.
