There's something to be said for a shotgun with one job. The TR Imports Sidekick is a break-action single shot in 20 gauge, and everything about it is built around being easy to carry, easy to run, and easy to learn on. Crack it open, drop a shell in, close it up, and you're hunting. No shell carriers jamming, no action to short-stroke, no fuss. With a 3-inch chamber behind the 24-inch barrel, it'll handle everything from light target loads to heavier hunting shells when turkey season rolls around.
This version wears a compact synthetic stock dressed in camo, with a shorter length of pull in the 13.5 to 14.5 inch range that fits youth and smaller-framed adults far better than a full-size field gun. At 4 pounds 8 ounces, it's light enough for a kid to carry all morning without wearing out, and light enough that you won't mind hauling it up a ridge either. The synthetic furniture shrugs off rain, mud, and the general abuse that comes with real hunting, so you don't have to baby it.
A lot of budget single shots come with a fixed choke and call it a day. The Sidekick ships with three interchangeable Mobil-pattern choke tubes, improved cylinder, modified, and full, so you can tighten up for turkeys or open it up for squirrels and close-range birds. The receiver also comes with a Picatinny rail already mounted, which makes adding a red dot about as painless as it gets. That's a big deal for new hunters, since a dot on a turkey gun takes a lot of guesswork out of that first bird.
As a first shotgun, a truck gun, or a lightweight loaner for hunting camp, this one covers a lot of ground without complicating anything. The single-shot format teaches good habits, the 20 gauge keeps recoil manageable in a light package, and the choke set plus optics rail give it room to grow with whoever's shooting it.
It's one of the better setups for that role. The break-action single shot design is simple to learn and easy to check safe, the 20 gauge keeps recoil reasonable, and the shorter compact stock fits smaller shooters properly. It's the kind of gun a kid can grow into instead of fighting against.
Yes, and it's easy. The receiver comes with a Picatinny rail already installed, so most micro red dots or small optics bolt right on without any drilling or gunsmithing. That makes it a popular pick as a starter turkey gun.
It ships with three interchangeable Mobil-pattern chokes: improved cylinder, modified, and full. That trio covers most small game, bird, and turkey situations, and since Mobil is a common thread pattern, aftermarket tubes like extended turkey chokes are widely available.
Yes. It has a 3-inch chamber, so it'll run both 2.75-inch and 3-inch 20 gauge loads. Just keep in mind this is a light gun at around 4.5 pounds, so stout 3-inch magnum loads will have noticeably more kick than field loads.
