Good 20 guage shotgun? for skeet/trap

Featured Replies

So I am a dumbass.... Went to walmart to see what they had left for black friday. Stopped by the ammo dept. yes this was in Pa. Picked up 2 boxes of 12 guage trap shot. While deciding between federal and winchester... at the end, I picked up the wrong boxes and got 2 20 guage 100 round packs.

 

soooo...

 

Since you cant return ammo.Whats a good 20 guage.

That may be what you told Anastasia to convince her you need to buy a new gun, but I'm not buying your story! :lol:

Anastasia was jumping for joy when I told her I got 20 guage shells. She knows it means a new 20 guage for her. lol.

 

Want to pick one up tomorrow. Either new at Dicks, or may drop by Cheynne to see what they have in stock used.... pref under $400.

She needs a gas operated 20 ga semiauto.

 

Remington 1100

Remington 1187

Mossberg International SA20

my thaughts exactly..

That makes 3 of us

 

I believe Tony can get a Mossberg SA in your price range new.

 

I was looking at CMO a few weeks ago and the used oned they had were VERY USED. You need to be careful.

OOh that is a nice Remington Tony. Both are good deals. The wood looks nicer.

I have a mossberg 12 GA and it is finicky.. the remingtons just runnnn..

I am partial to remy's.

 

anastasia will also benefit from a youth model.

That S&W has a trigger pull of 14.5 inches niether you or anestasia are going to be able to reach it.

you could cut down the stock or change the recoil pad maybe.. I have cut stocks before and worked out well..

Didn't someone have a $80ish 20 gauge youth model for sale on here a while back? Still available??

If you are buying new do not buy one and then cut the stock. Buy one that fits. If it is used and you need to cut the stock it is easier to stick with a wood stock.

 

Chad, those single shot 20's kick more than a gas operated 12.

Tim, you only worry about that if you actually SHOOT it.

No one found one for our fearless leader yet?

I checked around this morning and came up empty. Maks is slacking in his duties to his future wife :D

Any tips for "buying one that fits"? My wife-to-be is about 5'2-5'3... but she can't even seem to hold my 590 with the 12" LOP stock comfortably. Part of it is weight I'm sure, since all she does is complain how heavy everything is... but no matter how I try to explain/show her how to properly hold a shotgun/rifle/whatever, she just can't seem to get it right...

Get her a Crickett. http://www.crickett.com/product_info.ph ... td8ugm7ff0

heh was just looking at those the other day. Not a huge fan of "nutnfancy" on youtube, but he did a video of the Zastava Z5 and was thinking I may give one of those a shot instead of the Cricket. Especially after getting to fondle Malsua's Zastava/Remington.

 

But I'm more interesting in finding her a shotgun right now cuz I think she'd get a kick out of blowing up some clays

She will definately need a youth stock. Part of the problem with the 590 is the action bars are a little long. On a 500 youth the action bars are shorter so she holds the front a little closer to the action and does not feel like she has to stretch to hold the gun. I have a 500 adult and a 500 youth and there is a big difference. The 590 is also a little more front heavy than a 500.

 

Also, try having someone else teach her how to hold a rifle/shotgun. I know when I first started teaching Tammy she was a little more irritable when I tried to correct her. My best friend ended up teaching her until she was comfortable. Now that she is confident there are no issues when I show her something. I did the same for him. Sometimes it is easier.

 

Let me know if I can help with anything.
