[QUOTE="Southern Sportsman, post: 5051655, member: 10399"] I started with the Youth SPZ ME 20 gauge because it has 26” barrels instead of 28. But I didn’t like the short length of pull, so I swapped the factory pad for a KickEez Magnum 1 3/8” recoil pad. That made the stock about normal length, but did add a few ounces. I put a Burris FFIII on it using a low-profile mount from Sumtoy. Awesome mount. It has a center grove that fits perfectly over the rib. Then two screws through the rib to secure it. So the rib does have to be drilled/tapped but it’s definitely worth it. For my long choke, I started with a .562 from Sumtoy. It was TIGHT. 350+ pellets in a 10” circle at 40 yards. Impressive to look at but easy to miss with. He let me send it back and swapped it for a .570 and that’s the sweet spot. The only thing I don’t like is the divergence between top and bottom barrel. They are 8-9 inches different with bottom barrel shooting low and a touch right. Briley does the warranty work for Yildiz. I talked to them and they told me to send it in and they would swap the barrels for a different set. Maybe I should have, but I didn’t. The top barrel is my long barrel (anything over 25). It shoots such a beautiful 250/250 pattern that I was hesitant to swap it. And I like tinkering. So instead of letting them swap out my barrels, I filed the bottom choke to move the bottom pattern towards center. ([URL='http://www.gobblernation.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=14385']Here is a link[/URL] if you’ve never heard of that. It works). I used the factory flush mount improved modified. Filing it opens the pattern a little so it was probably the equivalent of a modified. I got it serviceable last year and killed turkeys with both barrels. But I will tweak it a little more this year. I ordered a Trulock extended IM. The extended tube should let me file it a little deeper and get the bottom barrel all the way centered with the top. The only other thing I did was add sling studs.
