LW rem 870-20ga for rabbits.

we are going to hunt rabbits this week end as the weather is to be nice(in the 40,s) after a snow yesterday and 28-30 degrees, I am taking this older light weight rem 870 in 20 ga with mod choke and 1oz of #6 shot. I used the shotgun on doves last fall and did pretty good with it and I do like the light weight as I get older and doing much walking. it will be a good time with friends. the story of this 870 is I bought it at a friends estate sale and after the sale I was given the extra barrel as it was the only rem 20 GA LT barrel at the sale and they thought it belonged to the 20ga LT. it is a plain mod choke(cy code), on the shotgun was a vent rib mod choke(xv code). eastbank.

yes you are right, and the 870 is marked LW and not LT. eastbank.

6.1 lbs with the 28"vent rib barrel. this late 50,s model 12 in 20ga weights 6.8 lbs with plain barrel. it was in the mid 30,s today and warmer this week end, the rabbits should be out. eastbank.

well no rabbits, but several loads of wood cut. maybe it will be better on weds after the rain. eastbank.
