The remington 20 gauge is what I am leaning towards but with the jelly head choke
This in a synthetic compact is gonna be a good choice, just need to make sure it’s either really old or really new.
Mossberg is gonna make a similar gun, I shoot a 500 superbantam which is a youth model and it’s been a great upgrade to the long heavy semiauto I used to lug around. My gun liked an Indian creek choke with apex and verdict TSS and you’ll hear a lot of folks swear by a certain choke, but what matters is if YOUR gun will pattern it, with the loads you plan to shoot. Something I’ve found effective is conning other people into thinking they need a new setup, and everyone buying a couple chokes to try, until you find the best one for your combo and hunting style. A baseball pattern at 20 yards is cool to show people, but you’ll airmail it if that’s the distance you usually shoot at a bird.
With tss and a choke that’s been patterned, any 20ga is gonna have you lethal past 60 yards, it’s really about what is comfortable to walk around with all day, and for a lot of folks these days that’s the lightest synthetic gun that doesn’t break the bank. 3” TSS is no joy to shoot in a light pump, but it’s not that much better in a light semi auto either.
