condor?????

[gotcha]

Cosidering a Condor to transform into a turkey gun{currently shoot a 12 ga 870}.I would like to go down to a 20 ga,thinking a youth model Condor with 2 different chokes,1 for close shots in cover and a tighter choke for fields,.longer shots,etc.The tighter choke should allow me a follow up shot if the first shot misses,assuming the second shot may be farther.Anyone have a setup like this?Also would prefer a black synthetic but dont see a replacement for the youth gun.Just joined here,looks like some useful info.Thanks in advance.

I hope it works out for you! Sounds like a tall order to fill. What is your reasoning for going to a 20ga. if I may ask? Not poking fun, just curious..

With the new 20 ga loads go for it. I shoot a 12 ga but with the right load choke combo their are a lot of 20 gauges that are 40 yard killers. The key is the right choke and load combo.

No real reason,used my 870 the last 16 springs,just looking for a project to tweek on.Really looked at the single shot Hand R'S and Rossi,but the idea of being able to make a follow up shot or use the right choke,shell,for a particular shot has appeal to me.Maybe straight 7's with a open choke for heavy cover hunting,5's or 6's with a tighter choke in fields or pastures,all in the same gun.

I've used my O/U for turkey before with the same consept. I used exfull in the top and full in the bottom. The problem is the condor doesn't have barrel select.

Did not realize that,thank for the info.

I can confirm that the condor does not have a barrel select. The first round comes out of the lower barrel and the second trigger is set from the inertia. Some Condors have a difficult time with setting the second trigger but I don't see this happening with a turkey load. Good luck and happy hunting.
