The 870 pump tactical! Ahh yes, Mr. Classy, the very own. For a long time I have wanted a tactical shotgun. But not something all out mall ninja warrior tactical. Something basically tactical, with a few features that make it like a standard 870/tactical mix. Thus, I found this particular 870 sitting on the shelf at the local Dicks, whom I am reluctant to shop with...
Admittedly, the screw in choke is a little much, but I can live with the other great features that came with this particular gauge.
Purchased for testing was this ammo can of Fiocchi nickel plated 00 buck, low recoil. For HD purposes, it is kept loaded with 7 rounds of military grade 00 2 3/4 inch.
Nice, big fat XS white dot on the front with a swing swivel mount on the bottom.
Pic rail and XS ghost ring on the receiver.
Tactical battle cat comes to supervise and admire this fine shotgun.
But not without kisses.
Pleasant to shoot with 2 3/4 inch low recoil 00, this shotgun is a lot of fun. 6+1 capacity satisfies me greatly over the standard 5 round capacity in a much more purpose built package than my franken gauge, a behemoth 870 express with field barrel and super extended tube for a total of 9+1. Very unwieldy in the domicile.
I know a lot out there like their Mossberg shotguns, but I accept no substitute! I can understand why this shotgun is difficult for some to get behind, however. The price tag was $499 and a couple more for a Blackhawk standard safari sling. Worth the quality of a Remington 870, in my opinion.
