ditto: what skeet said, 870 is the way to go, but don't shoot high altitude geese you can't kill'em.
Former biologist buddy told me that they did a study, a few years back, on our local resident flock. Almost 50%, of the adult birds checked, had pellets some where in their body.(x-rayed) That tells us that we are taking too many high, out of range shots.
They are one tough bird in range, long range shots just aren't practical.
