I’m considering selling a rifle I never shoot as well as the reloading supplies I have for it that are gathering dust on my bench for another shotgun. I enjoy shotgunning far more than rifle shooting, for some reason and I could see myself being a collector of sorts.
Currently, I have two nostalgia guns I brought with me on our cross country move (an old single shot braztech.410 and an early 90s era 870 express in 20 ga). Last summer I bought a new model Wingmaster, which in spite of the bad rep Remington has gained in recent years, is a really nice gun and hasn’t struck me as all that different from my dad’s 70s era Wingmaster.
I do have a short, HD barrel for the Wingmaster, but I like the idea of just keeping it in sporting configuration, Plugged as required state F&G regs, ready to go for informal clay shooting and hopefully bird hunting.
My next shotgun will be more utilitarian. A reliable, durable, short barreled defense and possible brush big game gun meant exclusively for hurling slugs and buckshot.
Few bad things have been written about the 590A1, but the safety position concerns me. The 870 has been my most commonly used firearm for 25+ years. I’m wondering if I’ll run into muscle memory issues due to the diffence in safety position between the 870 and 590.
Anyone here own and regularly use both? If so, do you run into problems switching between the two?
