Finest shooting gun ever made, and super light.
You could get one used for under a thousand.

Comes with dual gas cylinders for light or heavy loads.
6.5 lbs
And three screw in chokes. With wrench.
Super easy take down.
Even trigger group comes out with one pi.
Look it up and read. The reviews. Good price for what you get.
Well within your budget .
:tup: :twocents:

I'm glad I asked, some names in there I wouldn't have thought of. I see a lot of 20 gauge shooters as well, might be another change for me to consider, thanks to all!
Few who go 20 ever go back! Even for goose and turkey it is a sweet deal. I'm glad the wife got a 20 and put me on the right track. I no longer own a single 12 gauge gun.

With the ammo that they are putting out now I don't think that a 20ga lacks anything except pellet count to a 12ga.

Though I haven't taken any large Westerns with the 20 I have slammed some Lessers with #6 Heavyshot at pretty crazy distances as follow up shots for others. I never shoot #4 or #2 so I can not say there. If you want to shoot cheap basic steel loads 12g is probably going to be a better fit for most waterfowl. But get into the premium steel alternatives or have upland birds on the menu I give the edge to the 20g. I also find the factory chokes for the 20 pattern better than most factory 12g chokes.
If I ever found a need to sky bust westerns I'd probably want an aftermarket choked 12g or even a 10g. But, I most certainly don't want to be lugging that thing around the good chuckar grounds. And when it comes to pheasant and quail we pick enough pellets out of them shooting the 20's. When I shot 12g for pheasant and quail we made a lot of bird burger and sausage because they were just blown to heck. Although part of that is having good dogs too. Sometimes you just can't hold back the excitement for the count of four before making smoke ;)
I find most folks that bad mouth the 20's either hate eating wild birds or have never actually shot birds with the 20.

I think you guys are right on about 20's. I have wrecked some birds with a 12. Looks like a lot of 20's are barely 7 pounds, that's great. I have dug up a couple guys at work with 20's who agree they pattern really nice. Going to shoot them this weekend, a Stoeger M3000 and one has an older Browning. Would love to find a Franchi to look at too.
