Well I’ve got one coming in  The wife is still a little wary of me wanting to get him out thump’in turkeys but there’s still plenty of time to think it over or prepare  Either way he'll be needing one sooner or later. OVERVIEW: Young shooters are more likely to become stewards of the shooting sports if they start with a gun that fits properly. Exactly why we crafted our standard, premium-grade stocks with a shorter length of pull, then fit them to some of our finest firearms. for 2009, all compact firearms are equipped with our new Adjustable Length of Pull System. So, fit can be customized to youngsters as they grow, and adults requiring a shorter length of pull can tailor compact firearms to their specific needs. Rifles feature 20" barrels and youth shotguns have 21" barrels (20" for deer gun). We also offer our 20-gauge Model 870 Express Compact with Realtree Hardwoods® Hd™ stock and fore-end. KEY FEATURES: • 13" length of pull • Offered in 20-gauge • Adjustable Length of Pull System • Features Rem™ Choke barrels • Perfect length, weight and balance for smaller-stature shooters • Model 870 action is the reliability standard for pump shotguns around the world • Realtree® Hardwoods® HD camo |

Yahoooo  Jake and I got new turkey thumpers today. Well not "in hand" seeing mine needed to be ordered. It should be in on Thursday  Throw on my Williams Fire Sights and a couple of Kick's Gobbling Thunder tubes in them and we are ready for the turkey targets. I'm still not sure if Jake will make it out but in case he does, we will be ready OVERVIEW: It's solid dependable action makes it America's favorite, and our continual upgrades make it the most advanced, well-rounded family of pump shotguns around. Along with continually evolving designs, this shotgun's superiority is a matter of rugged dependability, great pointing characteristics and versatility. In fact, the Model 870 has been the standard for slide-action performance for 60 years. Our new Model 870 Express Super Magnum Turkey/Waterfowl is just the dual-purpose bird slayer you've been waiting for. It cycles 2 3/4", 3" and 3 1/2" 12-gauge rounds interchangeably and features full Mossy Oak® Bottomland camo coverage that blends into everything from the hardwoods to the flooded timber. A 26" barrel with HiViz® fiber-optics sights makes it ideal for virtually every turkey hunting or waterfowl situation. Includes Wingmaster HD® Waterfowl and Turkey Extra Full Rem™ Chokes. KEY FEATURES: • 12 gauge, HiViz vent-rib sight with replaceable fiber optics • 26" RC barrel with extended Turkey and Waterfowl chokes • Mossy Oak Bottomland full camo • Shoots 2 3/4", 3" and 3 1/2" shells • SuperCell recoil pad • Drilled and tapped receiver |

Take a good hard look at that factory extra full rem turkey choke. I've got the same gun (not in camo) and the pattern it spits with the factory tube is unreal. I love my Benelli, but if I were in a contest to put as many pellets as I could "in the head" of a turkey target at 55 yards, I'd be shooting my 870, no questions asked. I always loved the Remingtons I've owned....well except for the 1187  I got rid of that one real quick My old 12GA Wingmaster magnum was my first turkey gun and that thing could spit a hell of a pattern. I just couldn't see having two autos and I really do love "Natalie" She's an awesome shooter. |

Well we brought the two new editions home today Handsome guys if I must say I dressed mine up with the sights and sling already. Jakes little boy is going to have to wait until I've got mine trained. I'll probably slide on the TruGlo bead that came with mine and see if it fits & looks. I'm going to try the factory choke for now before I buy the Kicks tube. Same with Jakes gun, try the factory tube before dropping the money of a turkey tube. I said it before, I want his pattern to be open and keep his shots around 15 yards. I'm a little worried though, I'm not sure if I can call them in that close  ................without someone cutting in that is  Overall....I'm pretty excited about dialing this puppy in  Maybe be tomorrow after the Easter egg hunt! |

Thanks Bob! Looking forward to trying them out I cleaned my gun and then a quick polished to the barrel. Gave it another good cleaning and it should be good to go. I think tomorrow I try and get two boxes of shells through her and then give the barrel another polish. I need to give my gunsmith a call tomorrow to see how quick he can do a trigger job on her. It's not bad and I'm not looking to make it lighter, just take some of the creep out of it. Hopefully I can catch up with someone here to shoulder the gun to double check my sight mounting job. I would ask masshntr on Sunday but I've been hunting with him before ;D Sorry buddy but it's been a while |
