vole Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 The only 20 gauge Hushpowers I know of are the o/u Investarm and the s/b Pedretti.Someone posted on here recently about the Investarm and liked it alot. I have used the Pedretti 12g for a while now.The guns they have converted are not exactly quality guns rather than folders that can be moderated so they do not end up like bazookas. PLenty of people dislike Hushpowers unless they have a real use for them because of the balance etc etc. I love mine because it is my ticket to shoot without attracting complaints or armed police. It is great for lamping as I can hold a torch and rest it on my forearm as there is little recoil and you dont need ear plugs.The subsonic 32g are great at whacking rabbits and squirrel not to mention crows. The Saddlery and Gunroom told me the 20g is quieter due to the size of the mod in relation to the bore. Depends why you want one,as I say they are my ticket to shooting places without hassle.

ronster Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 O/U would be more usefull i think and would open up a few more fields for me to shoot on as there are horses and sheep in the next fields and have kept away from them as not to upset the farmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I would like one myself. I handled one in the shop and because the moderator sits on top almost of the top barrel you dont have to obscure the target so much as with the s/b. I have to shoot about 20in high at 30yds. As I say someone off here got one in recent months. Saddlery and gunroom helpful and there may be used ones coming through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr salt Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 IF YOUR ON ABOUT THE O/U . WATCH OUT FOR THE WEIGHT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubby Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I have the singlebore pedretti hushpower in both 12g and 410, as above its my ticket to shooting a farm with noise issues, having the single barrel makes you think more about each shot, the 12 does feel heavy after a while, but I love the "hushpower" as for the o/u, Ive been looking as we all do, new price for an o/u hushpower, around £740 mark, yet a 3 shot semi mossburg with hushpower only £540 so think I'll be putting a pump on the wish list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenhunter Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 As said already, I have one. Bought it because I have noise issues on a couple of my permissions and the lack of recoil! Just check out the availability of the carts in your area, I had probs here so had to get Just Cartridges to send some. It can work out fairly dear to run the 20g version but otherwise GH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utectok Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 there is a mossberg 500 20g good value hard wearing gun IMHO. I raised the cheek as it shot low with the moderator and filled the bored hole in the stock with AA shot to balance it shoots great now (.410 but the 20g is probabl;y the same) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
