I’m in the market for a new turkey thumper. Never had an O/U but have been thinking it’s about time I owned one. For those of you shooting O/U’s for turkey, whats your setup? I’d like it in 20ga shooting TSS 8’s.

i have a stoeger condor 20ga O/U it is light shoulders well and accurate, only thing is it does not have selectors and the bottom barrel fires first. i use factory bead and carlson .575 chokes with hevi shot straight 7's right now, but am working on a tss straight 9 load

I haven't done it yet myself, but I've researched it a good bit. If I were buying one today it would be a CZ

ill get pics and post them up tomorrow or i can text them

Yildiz 20ga youth model and have Gundoc cerakote it

Same here. Love it. They aren't that expensive either. Like Bhammedic84 said, the only draw back is that it does not have a barrel selector or ejectors. I'm fine with not having ejectors but not having the ability to possibly shoot two different chokes is bothersome. However, I shoot two jellyheads using LongbeardXR. It patterns great. I will be shooting TSS next season.

This!!! Squeaky has one and with TSS, it’s bad news. Extremely light and really holds a great pattern. I watched him mow some down with it this spring and was really impressed.

I want one of those in a .410. How durable are they?

CZ Reduced length 20. Short and light. Metal is Cerakote Armour Black , wood is factory matte finish. I use Carlson extended Improved Modified in the bottom pipe Full in the top. Open sights, Williams rear , Tru-Glo front. CZ has chrome lined barrels. Throws great patterns without super tight chokes. I shoot #9s , puts about 285 in 10" at 40 yards , very even pattern too.

Heavy I'd think

I have a Cynergy that I've used for turkey hunting. When setting up (sitting on the ground with the gun on my knee), it feels strangely muzzle heavy. It makes sense with 2 barrels and 2 chokes. And I didn't say it feels bad. It just feels different. The biggest benefit you read about is the ability to have 2 different chokes, making it easier to better cover a range of shot distances.

Not heavy, O/U & SXS have no receiver , bolt and such. My CZ has 24" barrels and is the same length as a compact 870. Weighs about the same too.

Is this the redhead model?

They will sure enough put a hurting on a longbeard. They will put a hurtin on your end too when you shoot the moa load! To me, it’s the best made o/u in the sub 1k price range.

Is that the youth SPZ ME? 24” barrels? What chokes are you running?

Ned look at the ATI turkey/fowl if you can find one.

Yes. I bought mine used via Gunbroker.

It’s the one with 24” barrels, not sure about the model number

I had a little time today and stopped by my local Academy. They didn't have the 20ga Yildiz but I was able to handle the same model in 12ga. That may be one of the lightest 12ga's I've ever picked up, And it had 28" barrel on it. Definitely in my consideration list.

Light equals recoil. I know a guy who set up a Yildiz 20 O/U and he won’t even shoot it anymore.
