Title: Looking for a 20 ga. set-up for turkey.
Post by: rocfish13 on April 27, 2012, 07:16:23 AM

I'm thinking about going to a 20 gauge just for turkey hunting. Any suggestions?  Thanks!!   Gary

Buy a remington 870 with a  26" barrel and get a primos tight wad choke, then get some of those federal hw #7's and you will be set up.  6 for 6 so far..........

I agree on the 870, alot of good 20s out there but the 870 has a ton of aftermarket accessories available.. I have a knoxx stock and a red dot on mine.. For a choke I would go with Tru Glo SSX 550, performs well with the three most popular 20 gauge loads, Fed HW 7s, H 13 7s and Nitro 7s.. I choose the Fed 7s because of the increased penetration over Hevi Shot..

Here is a taped 40 yard pattern with the SSX and Fed 7s
