I am looking at getting a Remington 870 Express 12g 18" blued, black-synthetic 6+1 shot as my first shot gun.
I am more of a pistol guy, but I just joined a gun club that offers just about every kind of shooting you can think of, so I want to get into rifle and shot gun stuff now too.
This will be my 1st shotgun so I want to use it for several things just to get started in shotgun shooting. The main purpose for the 870 is home defense.
BUT, my question is can it be used as a starter gun to try out things like 3 gun competition, Sporting Clays, TRAP or SKEET, and hunting for turkey or other birds also until I figure out what exactly I want to continue in and then get proper guns for it then ?
Thanks,
J
