[QUOTE="Bgoodman30, post: 4872576, member: 18480"] I have been doing a lot of research on my next turkey setup and want to move down to a 20 gauge mainly due to the weight factor. Although I stumbled on Retay Gordion 12 gauge with 24" barrel at 6.2 lbs! I can order one around $874 which comes in camo with piscatinny rail! Just a touch heavier than the Franchi affinity 20 gauge! I shouldered the new Retay Masai Mara small town hunting setup in 12 gauge with 22' barrel and its sweet! It comes built and setup exactly like I would do it. Cerakote, camo, piscatiny rail and Jebs choke for $1100 Ready to hunt minus any sights! I have been doing a lot of research and reading and hearing a lot of great things about Retay. If they had a 20 gauge offering I would have already jumped on it! But I am partial to the Benelli M2, I love that gun its what I have shot for ducks for several years. I have shouldered the Franchi , Stoeger and none of them feel right like the M2. Of course its spendy and not drilled and tapped for sights. At $1300 I am looking at another $350 for camo dip, $80 choke. ?? gunsmithing etc, etc. Another thing I could pass the compact version of this model down to my son for ducks and turkeys in a few years.. Or there is the franchi compact for around $799 which also comes in black and would need another $500 at least for camo and choke. Also have a 870 20 gauge I borrowed from a buddy that I could use in the meantime until I decide and things calm down.. What do yall think?? These are my finalist. 1. Benelli M2 24" $1300 black only 2. Retay Gordion 24" $874 includes camo, rail 3. Retay Masai Mara Small town $1100 camo, cerakote, rail, jebs choke 4. Franchi affinity compact $799 camo, drilled 5. Just shoot the 870 and wait until the Retay 20 gauge comes out? [/QUOTE]
