Hey Ya'll,
I've almost accumulated enough cabelas visa club points to get a slug barrel for my 870 Express! (been saving 'em for months)
Anyway, I looked at the Remington factory replacement 12EXP Deer Rifle Sights, which is 20" or 21" and Mossberg's 870 exp replacement slug barrel which is 24." Both are fully rifled IIRC.
Will 3 inches make that much of a difference in velocity and accuracy? What about quality? I expect both brands will be well made, but have no experience with either when it comes to slug barrels, only field barrels for bird hunting. This 870 is my all-around go-to, workaholic shotgun and I want to add the slug capability to its resume'
humbly awaiting your sage advice....
