20 g barrel for turkey
« on: April 20, 2010, 09:59:10 AM »
I am looking for a short (20-24") barrel in 20 g that accepts the screw in choke.    I saw in the barrel accessory pages only barrels with  fixed modified chokes or 28" VR with screw in choke.   Is this a custom-only wish for me?

You can get a 22" Full choke turkey barrel in 20 gauge that with Heavy shot or flight control ought to work wonders. the shortest screw in choke barrel I know of is 26" TDC Barrel.

I thank God everyday for my loving wife and all the fond memories of hunting with my Papa from a child until now.

Please take time to take a kid hunting, it will be a life long memory and blessing for both of you!

Thanks Tim. ;) I just got off the phone with Chris at H&R. They do have these in stock and can fit them as an accessory barrel.
