I'm getting ready to go turkey hunting Wednesday evening with one of my friends. Started looking for the barrel for my 3" 870. Wife moved it...couldn't find it. Good news is that my friend loaned my his 3 1/2" 870 and I got my first turkey 20 minutes out
My dilemma...I have a nice variety of guns, but most are pistols and rifles. Only have the 870 for a shotgun to hunt with. Seems silly to have only one. I'm not big into duplication...can't see having 3 different identical 12 gauge pumps
the 3 1/2" hit that bird HARD. I was quite impressed. Local dealer has a 3 1/2" 870 black synthetic for $329. Also has a camo SP-10 auto 10 gauge, but it's a little over $1,000
10 gauge should pattern slightly better, is camo, and auto. Ammo is more expensive, but this isn't for the trap range so there's probably not a lot of rounds going down the tube.
Still, the payload out of the 3 1/2" 12 is nearly identical and it's 1/3rd the price
Your thoughts???
