12 ga lead vs 20 ga TSS- cost comparison

[tbowers]

When I was hunting with my 20 gauge that I used for grouse and quail, I put a turkey choke on it and I shot Long Beard XR 20 gauge shells out to 40 yards and did fine with it.

I've shot LB XR's out of my daughters 20ga for a few years. Maybe its the choke, but it doesnt do well past 25 yards. I missed a bird with it last week at about 30yds. Who knows if it was me, the load or something else but it didnt give me a ton of confidence in the Longbeards out of it. Propobably just need to try a different choke in it. I think its a cheap TruGlo GobbleStopper

i had sumtoy cut down my 870SM to 18.5" from 28" he includes a choke of choice with his service. i did that solely for the purpose of having a more compact gun to handle.

Buy a cheap single shot 20 or even 12ga if you want to keep shooting Longbeard loads, 20ga Longbeard are not impressive most of the time.

I have zero interest in any gun over 6lbs, carry a light gun one day and you will see the light.

I think Yildiz or someone has a really light 12ga.  Single shot or SXS.

I have been considering a 20g, mostly due to weight and my style of running and gunning.  After age 50 my long 12g pump with pistol grip started to be pretty heavy on my shoulder after a long day.  I made a spreadsheet so I could sort by various factors, including weight and length.  Due to weight the Mossberg 500 was a ways down my list.  Here are some others you may consider - Mossberg SA-20 Turkey, Benelli M2 Turkey, Mossberg SA-20 Tactical Turkey, Winchester SXP NWTF Turkey.
