[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1869699, member: 9308"] Can you please direct me to where I can buy this [B]Remington V3 in 20 gauge[/B]? I've been waiting for them to release just that for years now. Never seen one. Thanks! For the OP [B][USER=10654]trueblue[/USER] [/B]- as others have stated, best bet is a [I][B][U]gas-operated[/U][/B][/I] semi-auto 20ga with some weight to it to cut down the kick. The Rem 11-87 in 20 ga (synthetic stock) is listed at 7 1/8lbs and would be a great choice. The Rem 1100 in 20 ga is listed at 7 lbs and would be my second 'best' recommendation. Put a Limbsaver recoil pad on either of those and it should shoot quite softly. Here is an 'out-of-the-box' option: buy a Beretta 686 or Browning Citori over-under in 12 gauge and then fit it with a [I][U]Briley "companion" drop-in[/U][/I] 20 gauge tube set ([URL]https://www.briley.com/p-52190-companion-drop-in-20-gauge-tube-set-standard-weight.aspx[/URL]) or the [I][U]Side-Kick 2.0 tubes[/U][/I] ([URL]https://www.briley.com/p-52226-side-kick-20-chamber-inserts-for-12-gauge-shotguns-20-gauge-only.aspx[/URL]) The added weight of the sub-tubes in the O/U will mitigate some recoil when firing it as a 20 gauge AND you still have a 12ga gun to use when you need more power. With the Side-Kick 2.0 tubes, you get an added benefit of firing a 20 ga in an 'over-bore' barrel which will soften the kick, too. Granted, this is a pricey option compared to just getting a 20ga semi-auto, but if you have the money and want ONE GUN to give you a lot of versatility and still kick softer than your current unit, it's a path to consider.
