No one else seems to, and I’ve never used a 20 on any birds. Regular 3” 20s have a reputation for crappy patterns. Mainly though, I wanted the O/U.😜 Yes, on the 37. I just whacked another good tom Merriams this morning with that O/U 20 gauge.

My 8 year old grandsons shoot it like they're playing a video game. The 20ga. is going to be double duty, turkey/deer slug gun with the added benefit that pulling the scope off returns it to general shotgun duty. With a 1 piece Weaver base drilled and tapped and old fashion Weaver lows this thing is mounted like a rifle. It's mounted so low I don't loose the ability for a good cheek weld. And being the old fart I am, a scope is more natural to me than a dot.
