Guys I'm a 20 gauger now!!

[turkey buster]

Picked up a new Remington 870 20 gauge youth with 21in barrel at Walmart for $337 out the door. Then drove to my gunsmith and he has it now and is drill and tapping it and mounting me a base for my Mueller Quick Shot. I also picked up a box of 20ga 3in Mag Blends while I was in there. Got home and ordered 6 boxes of Heavyweight 7's in 3in from Bass Pro. I just happen to have a Tightwad choke and I'm gonna try it out and see how it does in a few days when the mount is ready.

That's what I'm talking about son. I need to drill and tap mine. Right now I just have a saddle mount on mine.

What kind of #'s are you getting with the mag blends

[g8rvet]

Welcome to the club. I am not yet a full fledged member until I kill one with it though, but I have my 20. 

[Ihuntoldschool]

Wow, that is awesome. I have considered joining this club also, but I may wait and see if the Longbeards ever make it out in 20 gauge.

Can't wait to see some patterns.

[turkey buster]

I hope to get some patterning done at the end of the week once all this rain breaks.

I'll echo another post mentioned. I'm not technically a 20 gauger yet until My 6 year old son or myself can kill a bird with it.

But I'm well on the way

^I am in the 20 gauge club now, too. Learning fast about 7s.

[turkey buster]

Here it is. Patterns to come when shells make t here and it warms up. Hopefully Saturday

I haven't shot yet, but if I was to get 140's in the hw7 or mb should I be happy?

[g8rvet]

If it is a nice even pattern (no major holes) and consistent, heck yes.  A nice clean 140 will kill every bird (that you aim properly).
