Weight, compactness, shorter barrel on some, just all around smaller, lighter, setup with lighter shells overall usually. My 12G guns have not been out of the safe in years. I really hate it for them as I have fond memories of turkey hunting with mine when the turkey population were strong back in the day.Bgoodman30":1xzyd2tv said:fairchaser":1xzyd2tv said:Those are some awesome good patterns for a 20 gauge but why the 20 gauge? Is it that much lighter and easier to carry through the woods or is it just one of those things? What's next a .410? Should I just skip the 20 and go straight to the .410? I do love a challenge. Maybe it's just one of things about getting the most from the least. I don't see anyone here showing off their 10 gauge patterns.
I'm switching to a 20 mainly for the weight factor. The M2 20 gauge at 5.5 lbs is a game changer. Love that gun!
