An 870 for every occasion

IMO, the 870 is as good as it gets for a pump shotgun.

I'm not crazy about a Mossberg 500




Maybe the old Winchester Model 12 might have been better, but they haven't made them in a looooooong time.


I have a Benelli Nova, but they just don't have the "feel".




Nice deer!

I love a Model 12. I have one but haven't hunted with it for years.

I have two 870's and I hunt with both of them. But only during turkey season. I just don't hunt with a shotgun much. Never have. But I do love the 870's.

Me to.

My current go to is 870 Express with a Buckkicker Xtrafull choke and 3 in. 15 pellet 00 buck. It will put all 15 pellets in a 8 in pie plate at 50yds. I love the Buckkicker chokes.

I also shoot a 760 in 30-06 one of the best deer rifles Remington produced in my opinion.

Congrats on the buck, thats a nice one.

Military and Police all over use the mighty 870.
I use mine mostly for general purpose and I keep all kinds of shot and slugs.

Congratulations on a great harvest !!

Sweet! I have never deer hunted with a shotgun but have always been interested in it. Do you guys shoot slugs or buckshot?
I see one vote for buckshot on here already.

My first shotgun was a fancy 870 Wingmaster,in 20ga. I was a skinny kid..so the 20 made more sense for me. It is STILL my favorite gun to shoot Dove & Quail with! It’s light,fits me perfect,and is as dependable as an Anvil :rockon:
