Was wondering if anyone has seen this around the bham area. Thinking about one, to set up for my dad to use instead of the browning bps 3.5 of mine he uses few times a year. I mean he is only 78 and loves the 3.5. Why? I hate it I despise pain.......

if i hadnt taken up hunting i might have became a juvenile delinquent or worst taken up GOLF
Not sure about Birmingham but there was one 20gauge in stock at Reynolds in Opelika. If you're wanting to go for less recoil/weight, why not go all the way down to 410?

X2. I've got the 410, and it's a 50 yard gun all day
You don’t save a lot on recoil going to a lightweight 20 if you’re planning on shooting full house TSS loads thru it. The one I carry seems like it kicks more than I remember my 12 kicking. But you carry turkey guns way more than you ever shoot them. I’d trade the weight for the recoil anyday
Why does they have to have a 26" barrel on em? Why don't companies get it when it pertains to turkey guns? SMDH
i understand what you're saying but the turkey i killed with mine this year was in as tight of quarters as you can get and the barrel didn't effect me getting on him. its not much longer than the H&R 410 that ive been hunting with the last couple of years. just have to pay attention when setting up so you don't block yourself if you have to swing

I wasn't thrilled about that either until I handled one. The overall length of the gun is 41.5". My compact 870 20 gauge is 40.5". So in overall length, you've still got a very compact gun.

True. My current .410 has a 26" barrel (with no choke sticking out of it though) but I wish it was substantially shorter. My primary carry 20 gauge has the 18.5" junior barrel on it so it is most likely another 2.5" shorter than your compact. Been a short barrel toter since birth, so I always try to stay in my lane.

I think they might be threaded for chokes at least according to this. He says removable modified choke.
Interesting. Wonder if the .410 is the same? Always blows my mind how poor gun companies and retailers are at including such details on their websites.

They make one with a 22 in barrel if I read it right.
I don't think those are tapped for chokes, don't have the rail for a reflex site, etc.????
Chad that long barrel makes it awkward to carry. I cross it over my shoulder, and it seems it’s always getting hung on tree limbs. I started carrying it barrel down 🤷🏻♂️
