New Shotgun Question .. (20ga )

[fordhunt]

Hello , So I'm going to go to a 20ga . Out of all the shotguns that's out there which one should I go with for the best all around performance , Light and best pattern ,,$600 budget .

[Spitten and drummen]

Remington 870 is about as good as they come .  On that budget that's what I would get. Heard the Weatherby sa is a good auto loader and for a little more the Franchi is nice.

[Dtrkyman]

For a budget I went with a mossberg sa20, I really didn't care who made the gun, for me it boiled down to a gun that was light weight, why would a carry a 20ga that is nearly as heavy as my sbe2?

Weight was my first criteria for my selection. I got a new turkey thug model for like 375 i think it was.

Franchi affinity

The weatherby sa 08 is nice and is a lightweight.
Only downfall is switching the gas cylinder from light to heavy loads if you plan on a having a multi task gun.Its easy to change but also easy to forget

Stoeger m3020 semi auto  very light and inertia driven can't  beat it under 500.00

[Rufus]

Ok, I will say it..  Mossberg 500

The best 20ga shotgun is the one that fits you, no matter who is the manufacturer.

I love my M2 but I picked up a weatherby's that had a pistol grip and it felt great, I think it was $700

I bought my son a Stoger 3020 auto 20ga it's a flat out shooter. For the price I don't think you could get a better 20ga on the market.

another vote for the Stoeger 3020   I love mine

Bought my daughter (21 y/o) a Stoeger 3020 Compact a year ago. Looked at the Weatherby Youth, but the Stoeger felt better to her and she ended up shooting a lot of ducks with it last season. I like that it is inertia, so there is less to clean vs. a gas system, and the Stoeger has the recoil spring in the forearm (not the buttstock). Comes with a turkey choke; I measured it at .570. Paid $520 for it.

We have retired all of our 12ga's and now tote the Weatherby SA 459's. With a Suntoy Choke and the Federal Heviweight #7 or  Hand loaded TSS #9 they are just as if not more lethal that the 12's.

Most any of them will work.  Take a look in the 20 ga pattern section.  Problem is this year, that most of the patterns you will find in there you can not get any longer.

[Marc]

Is turkey hunting going be the primary (or only) use for the gun?  If not, what is the primary use of the gun?

[DrDirtNap]

Weatherby SA459 is hard to beat.  Love the little gun.  Used it all last year and killed a couple of birds with it already this year.   Patterns well will a IC 562 choke and 1 5/8 oz TSS 9s.
