Anyone use an O/U?

[therhino]

When I was first picking out the shotgun I wanted to buy, I was trying to decide between a pump and an over/under. I ended up with a Mossberg 500 in 20ga, so the question is pretty much moot now, but does anyone use an O/U for turkey?
I'd really fallen in love with the look and feel of the Stoeger Condor Outback. 20" barrel, chokable, and felt great in hand. But, it was an over/under, and I let the salesman talk me out of it due to felt recoil in O/U shotguns, and concerns about 20" being too short for reliable hunting.

Did I give up too quickly, or is an O/U pretty much only for clays and upland work?

I do not but it is a growing trend.. With selectable barrels have one barrel tricked out with a tight choke and good loads and the other with a IMP cyl and some lead 7.5s it would be a heckuva gun.

I would love to have one for skeet shooting. Just don't have the cash right now for a good one.I do have a SAVAGE 22/20.

I'm going to be shooting one for geese this year. And if I like it I'm gonna try and pick up a higher end one. Maybe something along the lines of the Browning Cynergy in MODB.

I looked at a Savage 22/20 when I was browsing for my shotgun. Someone had sprayed the whole thing in a thick layer of black spraypaint and self-blueing. It was a total wreck, and I was advised that it would be pretty much beyond reclamation for anyone but a gunsmith. Such a shame, because it was a beauty of a weapon.

I've always said that an o/u would be the "perfect" turkey gun
one barrel choked tight for25-45yd shots and the other choked for the 10-25yd shots

had not thought about it like that before. That would be the ticket!!

I have a friend that has one of the HandK Fab arm 12 g 3.5 with the tribore barrel we were going to mess with this year for turkey.. He ended up getting a 870 for 75 bucks so we are tricking that out instead. He might sell the HandK

Browning cynergy. 12ga took me awhile to get over the looks, but love the way it handles/shoots.....
