Greetings TFL'ers
This is my first new post. I am mainly into handguns. However, I "needed" a good all-around shotgun for hunting (rabbits, dove, whitetail, goose). I purchased a Remington 870 Super Magnum Special Purpose (3.5 chamber 12 gauge pump, 26" VR with interchangeable chokes, synthetic stock and full camo finish).
I'm going after cottontail with it tomorrow. I attached the sling, added a shell carrier on the stock, and left the modified choke in the barrel.
I am confused, though, if this gun is based on the Wingmaster or Express series. What are the differences, if any. The only concern so far involves the plastic trigger guard. ( Isn't this considered a weakness on most Mossbergs?)
Also, how about shooting standard (Foster type?) or Brenneke full diameter slugs through this gun? I believe Remington makes a rifled choke tube and aftermarket rifle sights can be attached to the vent rib. Can anyone comment on a similar setup?
Thanks for any responses. Happy New Year!
