I've always wanted a tactical shotgun for HD. The other day I was looking at some 870 Express models and a few higher end tactical shotguns in 12 ga but in every case I found the stock to be too long and the reach to the pump a little long.
I have an 870 20 ga YOUTH model that I bought for hunting rabbits in really thick swamps years ago. It's almost too short for true upland game hunting but it's great for tight work. I got to thinking that this gun (or a newer one of the same model) would fit me well for a tactical HD. Not sure if they make a 12 ga youth model in the 870.
So my question is, have you guys ever heard of someone using an 870 youth, either 12 or 20 ga for building a tactical shotgun? Recoil isn't an issue and I can try putting an adjustable stock on the larger gun...
What do you think?
Thanks and God Bless
