gotcha Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 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.

CH/QuakerBoyProstaff Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 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.. Quote
Flhawghuntr Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 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. Quote
gotcha Posted January 8, 2010 Author Posted January 8, 2010 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.

Novaking Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 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. Quote
gotcha Posted January 8, 2010 Author Posted January 8, 2010 Did not realize that,thank for the info. Quote
kenmcd Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 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. Quote
