After months and months of trying to figure out what I wanted in a slug gun looking at new & used models at guns shops, pawn shops and the internet I knew I could not afford what I really felt was the best.

Second choice was a bolt action of some sorts. Appears I am many days late and dollars short to get a choice of new one. I did look at the new Savage 220. Ive got to say I was deeply disappointed in the one I was showen the only one the dealer had in stock. The recoil pad was pealing off right out of the box. The bolt had a catch in it at about half travel. The dealer said all could be fixed Of which I am sure it could have been. I just couldn't see why some thing like that made it thru final inspection and was shipped to a dealer.

I did how ever find some thing that I liked well enough I could live with it.
Remington 870 express slug in 20 gage.

I must also add my wife bought it for me for our silver annaversery.




Now to get out and start trying to find what it likes.

Rem. 870 is the best selling shotgun on the market. You realize you can swap out barrels, right?

I was told this 870 had a pined barrels. If I am not mistaken you can not swap out the barrel like most 870's.
Plus I have a huge amount of shot guns in the safe Model 37's and at least 5 OUs of different brands.
So there is no reason to swap the barrel.

Thanks any way.

Rem. 870 features swap out barrels. That's a big design feature that makes them sell. Rem. has the user manuals online. Just for the hell of it, I'd have a look.
