    Remington 870 locked up solid

    Had the same problem with my 870 Express. It was the cheap Winchester Value Pack shells form Walmart causing the problem. The same rough chamber issue. Alot of you will say just buy better ammo which is great fix to the problem if you can afford it. I do alot of clay shooting for fun not...

    Is there such a thing as an all-around hunting dog?

    German Shorthaired Pointer. They were bred to be the all around hunting dog, webbed feet and all lol. They could use a good vest during the colder months though. Smart and very trainable if your willing to put forth the time and effort.

    Benelli Nova vs. Remington 870 (12 ga)

    For waterfowl I'd go with the Benelli mainly because the finish on the Express rusts easily. But the Express is NOT crap by anymeans. The guns fit differently as well. The 870 has come out with that special finish that is resistant to the elements I dont remember what its called, "Trinite" or...

    yeah.. u could.. or just get the supernova. and yes the forearms are the same they just fixed the rattle problem. For the difference in price why wouldnt you get the super.

    Benelli Nova or SuperNova?

    No I dont own the Nova. When I bought my Supernova I did alot of research on the differences between the two and the most common complaints to come up was the loose forearm and cracking stocks on the Nova. That was enough to steer me away from the Nova and pay a little more for a gun without...

    Benelli Nova or SuperNova?

    The Nova has a one piece stock and reciever and has been known to crack due to stress of really heavy loads but the gun is slimmer than the Supernova. For the difference in price I would go with the Super, the rattle problem has been fixed and the stock is interchangeable with their pistol grip...

    My Rem 870 jamming up on me?

    read previous post.. probablly 6 bux in supplies assuming you already own a drill. I'm the same way in believing that a pump gun should cycle 100% of the time. I almost sold my 870 until I found out it was fixable.

    My Rem 870 jamming up on me?

    You shouldnt need to pay anyone to do it. Do a google search or search this site, theres lots of info on how to do it. You'll need a drill, old cleaning rod or wooden dowel works too, oil and some fine steel wool. No special tools required but some people have used a cylinder brake hone with...

    My Rem 870 jamming up on me?

    Common problem with the 870 Express and cheap Winchester 100rd Value Pack ammo. Its happend to me in the past. You either need to use better ammo and/or polish out the chamber.

    Benelli vs Franchi vs Browning

    The SX3 is pretty much the same as the Browning Silver if I remember right. Just different finishes and stocks. I have the SX3 Walnut and its my "do all" shotgun very reliable and very light to carry. The Browning version has nicer wood IMO. There both very close in price and both are much...
