Anyone have a yildiz 20 ga o/u youth?
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
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.

Re: Anyone have a yildiz 20 ga o/u youth?
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.

Yea. I think the base is different. Call or message him. I just sent him the barrels

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?

Re: Anyone have a yildiz 20 ga o/u youth?
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.

Which color dot or triangle do you have in your Trijicon RMR? Plus what base is it mounted on?wchadw wrote: ↑January 22nd, 2020, 8:24 am I have one. It’s pretty light compared to my 12s.

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....

May just be pic. They screw all way downGmed wrote: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?
