slug gun

[M.T. Pockets]

I've got an 870 with a slug barrel (smooth), with a Weaver 1 x 3 on top of it. I've got see through mounts but wouldn't find that necessary again. I've had this gun over 10 years and a lot has changed since then.


To do it over again:

I'd look for a gun with a better trigger. Shotguns have lousy triggers but I think you might find a better one than an 870.

I'd definitely get a rifled barrel and shoot the new sabot slugs.

Get a low powered variable with a wide field, there are a lot more choices out there now for shotgun scopes.
