Awesome.  To do it all over, I would jump on the 20 ga. train too.  That thing is S-W-E-E-T!

What does it weigh?

My first dedicated turkey gun was the H&R single shot dipped in Bottomland camo, 12 ga. chambered for 3.5".  It weighed as much as a feather, was a joy to carry, and misery to shoot.  That gun didn't have the heavier barrel like H&R's 10 ga., so when it went off, it hurt a lot. 

Took me 4 rounds to dial it in, used it for a season and traded it.  I never thought about shooting a 2.75" or 3" shell through it.  I wish I still had that little gun, it would be perfect for long hunts back in the wild areas of PA's mountains.

Looking at that little 20 ga. makes me want to set a single 20 ga. up for H-13 straight 7 as well.  That should be a great little shooter for you!

Nice looking rig, Craig.

    The 20ga. are so much fun to shoot and to carry around the woods....

    Good Luck with it......Zumer

That is pretty sweet!  The 20's have come a long way in chokes and shells available. Not to mention just the fact that there are some specialty 20's set up for turkeys out there now. If the .555 doesn't work for you, back out to the .570. That is what I had to do and the pattern was much more consistant.
