Hi all,
New member here and I was fortunate enough this past Christmas to get a 12 ga 870 Express with a 26-27" barrel vent rib RC, synthetic stock . I set it up for Turkey season with clamped on Tru glo rifle type sights and patterned it using 2 /different const. Carlson's turkey chokes. I love how it shoots but would like to loose about 6-7" of weight/barrel and make it less cumbersome with an option of using it as my HD weapon and keep the versatility of the RC so I have options of Deer hunting with slugs, Buckshot for home defense, Turkey hunting, and poppin a few squirels just by changing choke tubes and ammo. I couldn't find anything that would match the Express reciever til I seen a post here saying this would fit...24549 Special Purpose Deer - with Rifle Sights 20" RS and it has a RC, Cabela's has em on sell for 169.00. Would this be a good choice, and if I decided to add a magazine extension would it present any problems besides grinding off the existing magazine dimples? Also would a new sturdier follower be recommended? Sorry this was so long, will keepem shorter here on out :^D
