Choke and load advise for Midland Backpack 20 gauge
« on: March 21, 2021, 11:50:55 AM »
Looking for recommendations if someone has already set up one of these. I acquired one from a raffle. Will it make a turkey shooter? Thanks in advance.

I have used a factory Stoeger turkey choke, Carlson TSS. 555, and Carlson Longbeard XR .568.  The TSS choke was just too tight with Apex #9 loads for mine.  I also had mine drilled and tapped and have a cheap FF knockoff on it.  It is one of my backup guns, but is capable to 40+.

I will add that with Apex loads, this little gun kicks worse than any other gun I own, including magnum rifle calibers! Worse than a 3.5" 12 ga, so it is not a kid friendly gun with these loads.
