Stoeger 3020 or Mossberg 500, your opinion
Turkey Gun Opinion On 20 Gauge!

Stoeger
500, pumps work, they are safer, any part can be replaced yourself, top safety, nearly indestructible. Double extractors,the action can be timed and tuned to perfection, they are light and handy. They take the most popular choke tube system, gillions of tubes are made for them. 11 million owners can't be wrong, it truly is one of the best machines of any kind ever built.
Plus if some jerk steals it outta your truck cry 5 min and go buy another one.

Stoeger between them 2 because I don't like mossberg is all. Either will work you want a semi or a pump
Do you want a pump or an auto. It's that simple. Personally I HATE pumps these days but ti each his own
The benefit to the stoeger is it's a lot more fun to use for other stuff

Stoeger. Much more versatile for game.
Love my 3020. Wanted an automatic.

Love mine too. Great little gun. Only shot one the lest two seasons, but he was stone cold dead at 40 yards. Shooting it this weekend to make sure red dot it still on
I have hunted with and patterned both, they both will throw some awesome patterns . I used Carlson 575 non ported turkey choke in both. You can't go wrong either way but I prefer the Stoeger as it feels great in your hands and I like the inertia driven semi guns over a pump. Just a matter of preference .

Mossberg 500 for me. There's a reason the police and military used the 500.

Stoeger wins in the opinion of most of you!!I have had 2 Mossberg turkey guns and I liked them except for the bad recoil!!Still reading up on each!!Thanks for your opinions!
With a 20 there is no recoil problem, i have a semi tri star 20 and the mossy 20 pictured above. I wouldnt give a wooden nickel between em for turkey hunting, both are light , pattern great, and one shot is generally all thats needed. I just love the old school greenleaf on the mossberg i have
The 500 is as bullet proof a weapon as you'll ever find. I had one with a Trulock Pinhoti choke that threw a beautiful pattern and I actually prefer the tang safety on a turkey gun over any other type of safety. I sold it on here for no reason other than I simply wanted to try something new.

I just got back from the gun shop with a Mossberg 500 Super Bantam in 20 ga Mossy Oak Obsession camo.They installed the spacer for me, it is perfect.It came with only the choke in the barrel,hoping it will throw a good pattern.What are some chokes you like in your 20 ga gun's you would recommend?

I run sumtoys in all of my guns. But there's a pile of great chokes out there.
This one and an indian creek both work great in mine, congrats on the new gun

Carlson 575 non ported turkey choke, the thing is magic in the Mossberg and every other 20 gauge I have tried. Good luck!
