I shoot top barrel as my long barrel simply because at distance I can see/sight better as I shoot both eyes open. Put that little 3moa red dot on his wattles and boom. Dead every time.

These old(er) eyes just don't see as good as they used to.
 
Switching to 20 gauge Tristar semi auto with Bushnell red dot this year (was my wife's gun). With tss this thing patterns just as well out to 40 yards as my 12 gauge with half the punishment and half the weight. No brainer.

What load and choke do you use in it??

The barrel is 18.5"…it shoots fine for turkey hunting…it is a bit heavy…setting up a Tristar Raptor 20ga youth to try this season…if there are any gobblers around in my hunting areas!
If I may ask, what's your plans for the raptor? I posted our Raptor above, other than a choke change it's still stock. I had planned on drilling and tapping for an optic, but the little shotgun shots pretty straight and true with just the sight bead.
