Why the heck would you use a 20g for turkeys?

Only asking because I'm thinking about trying it myself.  LOL
Don't know if I want a pump gun or a 20g barrel for my T/C Encore.

With the new shells it's every bit as effective as a 12. It's all in what you want to use.

Biggest reason would be less felt recoil IMO.

Because six pounds totes more easily than eight.

Because thats all the gun you need when set up right

Lighter weight and when your older like me and walking in a ways to set up a few less ounces can make a difference. Plus it's enough gun with the shells they make nowadays with a proper set up

I know this is tongue in cheek, but what set me to thinking about it was a pinched nerve in my neck.  It is mostly healed and really, I fire so many 12 gauge shots (lighter loads) during duck season that a few rounds of sighting in and then if I am lucky 2 shots a season don't really amount to much. 

My main reason I love my little 20 (Weatherby SA 45) is I can hold it up and point it for a much longer time than my 12 without getting shaky.  Without a prop it just points so sweet and light.  Also with the shorter barrel, I have less issue with brush interference - both shooting and busting my way in to thick creek heads.

My 20 gauge Rem. 11-87 weighs more than my 12 gauge Encore.  However, it does shoot three times without reloading.

I love the light weight and don't feel under gunned with the new shells. It's pretty cool to reload your own shells too. My son and I will do 8 this year with 20 gauges. I see my 12 getting very lonely in the back of the safe.

Get an 870 with a 26" bbl and don't look back! After tagging out in MS with a 20 ga this year, I can tell you that I have no desire to go back to my 12 ga.

20 Gauges are for jakes.

I bought a Remington 870 in real tree hardwood with a 21 inch barrel this year and I like it but I would rather have your Encore in a 20 ga that's just me. They feel so sweet up against my shoulder. And a single shot is pretty quick to reload and most of the time you don't need an extra shot anyway.

My third year with my 20, I wish I knew early how deadly they were, less weight,less recoil and just as dead as I want them at the range I want to kill one!

And 25 pound toms with 11 inch ropes!
