That’s a good looking scatter gun
Well, the way I see it is there's just too many assholes
On a good day there's a bunch of assholes in here.

I had this same gun and liked the way it patterned but didn’t care for the pistol grip, I picked up a the regular version and had it dipped. It patterns really well with the factory extended turkey choke and hand loads. I do prefer my youth 870 over this gun just for the shorter compact length.

What choke/shell combo are y'all using and and if you put it to paper, what kind of numbers do you get? Gun looks and feels great. My yildiz o/u with factory full shoots way better patterns

I shot Federal TSS and it wasn’t the same. I have heard that Federal changed the wad and it has made a huge difference.

I’ve got a 20ga Raptor Youth w24” barrel. Turkey killer and I can shoot skeet with it pretty fair.
Heavy loads no problem, light loads just make sure it’s on your shoulder or it may jam.

I’ve used the 20 ga for a couple of seasons with no issues. Patterns great with apex 9s and a Carlson .555.

I have one exactly like the one pictured in 20 gauge. This is my 3rd season with it and I love it.

If that is the case, I have an opinion on the stock that you should consider. Personally, I do not like a pistol grip stock on a turkey gun. If you walk like I do, that grip is poking you in the kidney with every step and it sucks when you need to run, crawl, climb, jump, or cross barriers.

I love a pistol grip on a turkey gun. It’s not uncomfortable at all for me to carry.

Yes, I was looking at buying it to have a turkey only setup

I’m hunting with a second hand Tristar Raptor 12-ga. this year and enjoying it. I mounted a Konus Pro 1.5-5 scope on it. Previous owner had it outfitted with a Carlson’s .675 choke.
I like the set up and think it’ll make a jam-up thicket deer gun too.
It doesn’t like to cycle 1 Oz. Dove loads. But cycles the heavy stuff fine.
I do wonder how a kind of “off brand” gun holds up over the long haul. But I don’t have ton of money in the set/up.
“Killing tomorrow’s trophies today.”
On the distance I like to walk to my stands:
“The first 100 yards is also the last 100 yards.”

I was told by a guy in the know at TriStar. He said if you’re going to shoot the gun over 5,000 times buy the higher grade. If not you will be fine. And I’m talking the different grades of TriStar. Not a different manufacture.
