Pulled trigger on a new 20ga

[Stan Hillis]

I ordered a Tartaruga Gold about four years ago in .410, with 30" tubes, bespoke LOP, and double triggers. It arrived exactly as ordered. It's a charmer. It competes with my Dickinson 30" barreled .410 for opening day of dove season each year. I love them both. Both have good triggers, and ejectors.

I agree about the short tang triggerguard, and also am considering getting the long tang one from FAIR and fitting it myself. On the minus side, both the Dickinson and the FAIR Iside Tartaruga Gold are stocked a little bit too high for me. I have to be careful to cheek them both "hard" to shoot them well.

My bad.... It's 5lb 12.1oz I fat fingered the heck out of that one. I have corrected that.

Took the new 20 to the range with a couple of others yesterday....

First set of 25 I have to admit was not very precise, but was getting the feel for it on the second set. Also shot my 16ga Elsie and 12ga VH. Of course the VH busted the most birds.

I have not owned many straight stock shotguns, that's going to take some getting used to. Gun is very light compared to the other two sitting there. Also not used to ejectors on a SxS.... Carrying this gun is going to be like carrying a feather compared to most of my other guns.....
