Congrats. I have a 410 I am debating scoping instead of red dotting. My eyesight isn't the great and thought it might work better. I will probably end up with the red dot due to cost and weight.
I have this on a stevens 301 410 and its perfect far as eye relief and weight

Not scope eye but once I was in a pop up blind, sitting on a 3 legged stool and got myself all contorted then pulled the trigger. Me, the stool and the blind flipped completely backwards. LOL.

930 actually, been using the 20 last few years and thought i would take ole betsy out for a birthday stroll, she made me pay for ignoring her for so long😂
I had a 835 for years and sold it because I didnt like the heavy recoil,bought a 935 semi and recoil wasnt as bad but still hurts!I'm in the market next year for either a 20 ga or 28 ga.On your 20ga,whats your effective range?

That is great range for a good pattern and I have hardly ever shot one over 45 yards with my 12 ga!Thanks for the reply!
I'd highly recommend the 20 ga and shoot TSS 9 shot. It's a game changer in the smaller gauges with less recoil in a light weight gun. I switched to a 20 in 2017, and it shoots as good or better than my 3.5" 12 ga with lead. The effective range is farther than you should be shooting at a turkey. Here's my pattern with hand loaded TSS #9s with a youth 870 20 ga. Several people on here are shooting as good or better of a pattern as mine with a 20.
