DeaconKC Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Saw a used one today at one of my FLGS's for $300. Double triggers and clean as a whistle. Any of you shoot one or know if they are as good as their 12 Gauge brethren? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace_of_Hearts Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Bought one in 1966 brand new for $60.00 and have used it in the field for everything every year. Reliable and tough...... Shoots good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeaconKC Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 I guess I will put the little beauty on layaway if they still have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Spade Mikey Wilson Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I have one with choke tubes using Imp Cyl chokes in both barrels and I love it. I have a 12 gauge also, but I prefer the 20 gauge and shoot it the most. I load my own shotgun shells so ammo is not an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconKC Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 That would also justify asking for aLee Loadall for 20 Gauge for Christmas, wouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Been using the 20ga Lee Load All since the 1960's - does a nice job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattlesnake Slim Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I love my Stoeger Uplander in 20ga. I use it for matches, and it is the best thing I've found for Cowboy Clays. Be aware that it is a slightly scaled down gun from the 12ga. If you are a large frame, it might not be the best for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan Slim Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Kaya has been using one for six or so years now. Never an issue. Great gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconKC Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 Well I put the little beauty on layaway today. Depending on the part=time paycheck will grab it Saturday or in 2 weeks. And when talking to a friend I told him about watching for a Loadall and he said he had one I could have, so that works out, as I would like to make some real powder puff 20 loads for my wife to try.

I've got a Baikal 20g, and haven't come up with anything yet that has less felt recoil than 12g AA "Low Noise/Low Recoil" Featherlites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, the Missus tried a 870 20 Gauge last year and didn't like it, so hopefully this will be more to her liking. I will give those a try after I get a slip on pad for the 12.

Three Foot Johnson Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 12 gauge is 1.4 X larger surface area, hence considerably less effort to get the same job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeaconKC Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 Okay, I have a Stoeger 12 Gauge SxS and have trimmed the nub that automatically activates the safety. Is the safety set up the same on both? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog McCoy SASS #5672 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I used a 20ga Stogoer for about 20+ years until I got a single trigger SKB. AA low-noise Low recoild and Remington STS worked best in mine. If you have an Academy sports over there, they carried AA 20 low noise/Low recoil in stock. If you are going to reload, I have a bunch of once fired AA hulls. Too bad I did not see this sooner as I was in Marion, IL Tuesday. Wal-Mart in Sparta IL use to carry AA but not sure if they have them any more. If you can not find any, I have about 20 boxes of them right now, been using up anything I can find right now and saving them for bigger matches My SKB like everything I have put in it so far so it is not a big deal to part with a couple boxes. I have been using the Estate shells in my SKB but they are a bit heaver load. SKU: 024318453 ITEM: AA20FL8 Winchester number Good Luck https://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/winchester-aa-low-recoil-12-gauge-shotshells#repChildCatid=860718 Also, I may have a spring set for a Stoeger, light spring for opening it, will have to look.

Tom Bullweed Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I use a Stoeger 20 sxs for bp categories. Solid gun. I would buy another for $300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubious Don #56333 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Yes and Yes. Started with a Rossi hammered double, 26". Stupidly sold it LOL for another love. Along the way, amidst all the 97's, I got hooked on Stoegers. Double & single triggers. For a good while I shot a Stoeger Supreme 20ga, single triggers and a few years ago, in the midst of downsizing, it wnded up on the table with all the other 20's....standardization donchaknow LOL. Not too long after, while cleaning my sheds I found a whole buncha 20ga I fergot about....then, the shop I was working at the time took in a pristine Rem 1100 multibarrel trap set. With choke tubes and another barrel with a polychoke. I um....have a weakness for Remingtons, 1100's being one, among others and then the little devels started multiplying in the dark there in the safe. Sigh. LOL, musta been fate, karma whateva.... I never had any trouble taking targets. If anything it was better than some of my 12's. That Stoeger just seemed to fit and balance nicely so yeah, you got you a keeper!
