I've killed an Ozark Eastern and a Black Hills Merriam with mine already. I used a rib mounted red dot, and a Carlson tss choke with federal #9 tss. Best Part, I run tss in the top barrel with the Carlson choke tube and any cheap 20 guage shell in the under barrel with the factory full choke for under 20 yards. Being able to select which barrel at the time of shot is awesome!
I will typically run with my gun safety in the position for my under barrel, which is the short range barrel, because I figure if it’s long range I’ll have time to push it over and then off
I think an o/u is the coolest looking shotgun out there. I have always been reluctant to get one because of the things you mentioned. However, that one seems to be very usable. That was a great review. Thanks.
I really like the two barrel, long range and close concept. I tried a few years ago with a SxS and the patterns went from parallel to each to same POI to crossing over the farther you shot. Not good. I hope the other ATI Cavalry guns shoot similarly.
The extractors are different because the ATI has ejectors instead of extractors like the Stevens This means it will eject whichever shell that's been shot and lift the unfired shell. Edit: I commented too soon. I see you figured it out
@@RegularGuysOutdoors it's common on high end OU Shotguns but not budget models. When I picked a dedicated Turkey OU, that feature was required and that's why I went with the Yildiz at the time. It had ejectors at the right price
@@RegularGuysOutdoors Not on my 20 gauge Yildiz. I also have a 410 Yildiz and it's a little off but still very usable I have a.581 with Hevi Shot Mag Blend in the top barrel on my 20. I have have a Light Modified with Fiocchi Golden Pheasant 7.5 in the bottom barrel for inside 30 yards, I call it "my can't miss barrel"
I've been looking for one locally with no luck. I'm surprised that the stock is actually wood. That is odd and I wonder why they claim synthetic? Good luck with it.
The upside of having the wood stock is that I can cut it down to make it more of a youth model like the Stevens 555 stock. The downside is I hope it doesn’t flare and break like the 555 did.
Bought the 20 gauge Turkey and waterfall very disappointed in the quality of the finish started to peel off and the 4 ArM. And the stock try to call the company but did not get anywhere with them. I would not recommend Ati to anybody. Spend a little more money and get a better quality gun
Having the experience with three Turkish over under shotguns, I feel there is a bit of hit and miss with quality control as only one of those three are a keeper, this one. Best value shotgun? Maverick 88.
Thanks for the review. I have the Stevens 555 and I am now purchasing the ATI. 💪🏼
How regulated are the two barrels on the 555?
Thanks I just adopted a 20 ga turkey fowl a couple days ago and so far I’m happy with it
I am thinking it must up a level or two from the 555.
Glad you rescued it from the orphanage.

Thats a very clever feature. It might be common on most O/U but find it nifty.

Any issues with the two barrels alignment?@@jesseseals4239

All n all Solid lil turkey gun
Great video. Does the stevens have the barrel selector like the ATI? Thanks
Thank you...yes the 555 has the barrel selector.
They’re all made in turkey now! 😂
Is the recoil really bad? Just wonder what the flip flop was for? I’m thinking about getting one is is the only reason ima asking about the recoil
I have 2 different ov shotguns in 16 and 28 gauge,different companies, exactly the same made in turkey no surprises there.
Are the two barrels well regulated with each other?

Do not waste your money.I am very dissatisfied with my 20 gauge.The quality is terrible.
My paint finish is starting to peel off
That looks awesom o/u
So far, I’m impressed. We’ll see how it holds up this spring.
Disappointing that the manufacturer is not advertising the gun accurately with the composite stock vs the wood
it is, it almost seems to have some kind of a hard skin on it.

I have never fired the gun. It is brand new still. I am on my second time returning it for a safety malfunction.
They are poor quality.Junk would not recommend buying one
