Just wondering if anyone else has one of these? One just happened to follow me home from a trip to the gun shop to " look " Lol. 20 gauge , 22 inch barrel , inertia driven and 6 pd. I love the feel and look of the gun. Shot it a few times Tuesday between rain and functioned well. Just wondering if anyone else has set one of these up? Anyone use a meadow creek mount ? Do you like the vent rib mount
Weatherby Element turkey

No experience with it but sharp looking gun.
First one I have heard of and seen. Looks sharp and I like the specs (bbl length, weight, etc). Which choke threads?

I have one of the original Weatherby "turkey" special autoloaders, and absolutely love it.
Have had it for somewhere between 5 & 10 yrs. It came with a picatinny rail, on which I mounted a Burris Fastfire. Mine has a non-rib barrel, which I preferred (less visible side "foot print" to a turkey).

Same as Mossberg 500, I have a Carlson 575 on hand. That is what I shot the other day and will probably use in the gun.
Meadow creek with a fast fire 3 and drop a 570 in it if your shooting tss
I have seen guys say in videos they like the meadow creek better than the sight closer to them( better filed of view) Do you like it better? Looks like a solid mount from a really good company. I am leaning towards trying it on this gun or shooting bead. Whichever my son likes better. Thanks!
I have the meadow creek on a tristar 20 gauge and i really like it, very easy to aquire the target
I really appreciate your response, I believe I will order one of his combos. Seems to save some money that way . My son just shot the gun and he really likes it. Poa and PoI are really close! Gun has cycled all low brass really well.

Was just thinking, how amazing, we're now shooting 20 ga guns with a greater range than the 12 ga guns had before TSS came along.
And the "sights" we have on them today, maybe even more amazing.
Cannot imagine going back to just a blurry "bead" on the end of the barrel.

#9 TSS gets it done for me.
Big advantage over lead in a 20 ga,
maybe not as much in a 12,
but still allows a 20 with TSS to compare favorably
to a 12 with lead.

I'm late to the party, but am here now (almost). I just bought a Stoeger 3020 (5.5 lbs and 26" barrel) and it should come in this weekend. My Burris ff3 came in yesterday. As far as tss, I know nothing about. Will all chokes shoot tss, or do you need a special choke? My readings say all chokes are fine, just your preference on pattern. I'm pumped about the season
TSS prefers mildy restricted or more open chokes (just a little tighter than full choke), especially for turkey hunting where most shots are (or should be) 45 yards and under. Don't spend a bunch of money burning through expensive shells patterning as someone (likely several) has done the testing and can make a choke recommendation. For most 20G, I prefer .570-.575 constriction. I hunt with .575. Best of luck, suspect the weight reduction, shorter barrel and compactness of the gun will prevail with you as it has with so many.

Thank you, sir!
I have had two Stoeger 3020, I still have the one with 26 inch barrel, I use a Carlson 575 non ported turkey choke in that gun as well as other guns with TSS. Nice even pattern and not too tight. Great turkey hunting pattern. I use a 585 out of my Retay that came with it. I don't like a super tight pattern for turkey hunting. That's just me.
