Hi all,
I have two desires for the near future, 1) a new trap gun and 2) an 870. My question here is whether both can be served with the same move.
I've seen on the Remington webpage the 870 Trap Classic. From inspection this appears to be a 30 in 870 with a Monte Carlo stock. So far so good, and I like that the cost is half of a BT-99 ($670 from Wally World). The specialized chokes are probably more marketing than anything.
So the question is whether an 870 is an appropriate trap gun? I love to keep things simple in life, and that extends to my guns. The 870 is nothing, if not simple in its design.
To keep the discussion focused:
1) Is an 870 a reasonable trap gun from experience?
2) Is the 870 Trap Classic worth an additional $120 over a standard 870 for trap?
3) Is the 870 Trap Classic with a 26 in barrel usable in Skeet?
4) Does a standard stock transform the Trap Classic to a standard 870?
Thanks in advance,
