A Little Shotgun Help, Please!

Ive got an Remington 870 Magnum 20 gauge, Ive had it since I was 12 or 13 y/o, well over 15 years and I dont have the first complaint. Its a great overall gun.

You can't go wrong with Remington 870 in 12 ga. For varmits I use a Colt hbar.

Thanks to everyone for their input. Last night I picked up the Remington 870 Express 12 gauge shotgun.

I'm looking forward to turkey hunting next year with it!

As always, you folks provided lots of great information to consider. Thanks!!!!

I would think you should go to a gun forum, introduce yourself and get a WHOLE lotta input.

Guns and ammo has a nice forum and the gents and ladies on there are extraordinary.

You will need a "choke" to get a good group and this does get expensive.

I would thiink you need a 20 guage for the varmits (MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT GET A NON AUTO) and a 12 guage, same thing.

The sigle, double shots really kick with the 20 guage and this is not what you want in a small caliber.

I use my Savage .22 for varmints.

The Remington 870 shotgun is for wild turkey next year. It is chambered to take both 2 3/4 and 3" shells.

A Remington 770 .270 is my main deer rifle.
