Anyone have a yildiz 20 ga o/u youth?

Post by Southern Sportsman »

I’m thinking of getting one. Academy’s website lists the youth as having 24” barrels. But I’ve seen posts on other forums saying they are actually 26”. Academy also lists it with a weight of 5lbs. Just trying to confirm actual specs.

Thanks

I have one. It’s pretty light compared to my 12s. I don’t know if I can weigh it? But I can try to measure barrels. If you buy one, invest in a limbsaver. It’s a great little gun in my opinion.

I just handled one at an Academy store. Definitely getting one. Feels considerably lighter than the 20 ga 870 (my previous plan) holding them side by side. And with the O/U design, MUCH more compact despite both having 26” barrels.

Is the Sumtoy base specific to the O/U guns? I assume it’s different than what he sells comparable to the Burris 336 base. I’d love to see patterns if you get a chance.

I’ve done a hand load #7 lead that I’m going to pattern thru the 585 for 25 yards and under

Is there any difference in POI between the top and bottom barrels?

I’m setting one up now. I shot it last week at 25 yards with dove loads. Bottom barrel shot about 5” low (which I expected at that range). Top barrel shot good height-wise, but 3-4” right. I knew that was possible if not likely so I already planned to file my more open choke to correct it once I test with TSS at 40.

Yes. About a half a foot

Which color dot or triangle do you have in your Trijicon RMR? Plus what base is it mounted on?

Green. It’s a Sumtoy Mount. I got set where top of triangle is poi for top “far” barrel. So basically for close up shots I just cover head with triangle

Is there a gap between your choke and the barrel, is it not screwed in all the way, or just the way the photo looks? I have an Affinity and there is a 1/16” gap when the choke is screwed in fully and William said it should be that way. Patterns wonderfully....
