Just ordered my first shotgun...

 

Remington 870 with 28" barrel.

 

 

Just thought I'd share my excitement.

It's a good gun and will serve you well for a lifetime. Congrats.

Congrats, good choice and nice gun. Expect many years of use and enjoyment with it.

He was converted in a matter of minutes. Resistance is futile. He has been assimilated.

Takes some longer than others, but they all see the light eventually.

Congrats.

 

Any particular model...you know..stock type and color or pattern?

It's a black synthetic stock, 28" barrel, comes with a modified choke tube.

 

I just ordered 250 shells online (Federal #7.5) and one of those hand throwers ($4 I figured I'd give it a try).

Congrats.

Just remember, pretty much every Sunday at Sparta Trap. Might as well get used to the distances sooner rather then later.

As Ken said join us at Sparta. It is a whole different version of clay shooting than from a thrower at C.R. It is a very fun, new experience.

congrats and enjoy. Buying something new is always fun.

I bought a 870 wingmaster in 1982 that I still have in excellent condition. I've dragged this through brush deer and bird hunting and never missed a beat. Awesome shotgun.

870 over a 500 anyday of the week! Good choice.

Ray - you are such a snob. At the end of the day, what equipment does the 100 dollar hooker have that the 10 dollar hooker does not?

 

I'll put my $75 Mossy 500 against your "high dollar" 870 any day of the week and I guarantee you both will operate flawlessly.

Teeth and the correct number of limbs.

My son has an 870 express , very nice gun, but had 2 factory issues that had to be sent back to repair. Check the inside of the barrel for any type of pitting, his was very large, and after the first time out with the slug barrel, the metal arm that brings the next shell up to the chamber, broke and we couldnt get the remaining shells up or out with out taking the gun apart. But we do love the gun.

 

Any shotgun you purchase will do you well. But I personally like either Winchester or Remingtom.

Congrats. I do prefer Mossbergs though 8-)

 

Do yourself a favor and buy a Trius clay thrower, youll thank me after.

Teeth and the correct number of limbs.

 

Those could be pluses.

Stop that Daniel! I've had my 870, well, since I was 10. And my dad bought it used, from a dead guy! So if it can outlive it's owner, then I'm happy.

my dad bought it used, from a dead guy!

 

Now THAT'S an accomplishment!

 

 

-fixed a typo.

Now THAT'S and accomplishment!

 

One would think you could get a _REALLY_ good deal.

 

You start low...no counter offer..winner!

Man, your tough on me. What did I do?

It's a good thing this isn't one of the forums where threads get shut down when they go off topic.

 

I feel like I could post a topic about just about anything and it would turn into Ray Ray and someone playfully bantering for 6 pages. (If that "just about anything topic" happen to include zombies in the title you can change that 6 page estimate to somewhere in the 30-50 page range )

That's because I'm always right. Everyone knows Remy's are better than Mossy's.

Let us not forget how much Ray Ray bashed Glocks till he actually fired one.....i bet the same would be said with the mossy.

I've shot plenty of Mossy's. Pistol grip and skeet shotguns. Don't like'em.

Remi all the way ... 8) congrats

 

PS this is exactly how mine looks like >>>>>
