Title: Mossberg Turkey Thug Question
Post by: R AJ on January 25, 2012, 09:53:58 PM
Mossberg has come out with several 12 gauge models but not one 20 gauge model? Are they aware of the women, kids, and those switching from 12 ga. to 20 who would have possibly considered this gun? Do they admit to being so low in the 20 gauge market that they felt that not enough units would sell?
Are they going to bring out the 20 gauge for next year?

According to their web site announcements there are 4 models ,all 12 gauge.

I have their turkey version from a few years ago but it is not a Turkey Thugs model.

A little 3" pump in 24" bbl or 3" auto would be sweet. What about a back-bored 20 ? That would be interesting and novel.

I won an 835 tt model last year in Nashville and it's great.  I will be sure to ask about a 20 ga next weekend.
