I had some trouble acquiring myself a new state driver's license, but I finally got it and finally got to buy my first shotgun. So yesterday I headed down to Cabela's and picked up an 870 express with a 28" barrel. Also grabbed an 18" police barrel so I could use the gun for hunting/skeet and HD all in one
Anyway, got to take it to the "range" today (barrels in a field by my buddy's house, ha) and he lent me an old box of 7 1/2 shells. Gun feels great! At 25 yards with the 7 1/2 and borechoke 18 barrel I had a spread of about 2 feet. Haven't yet tried out with the 28 inch, but I'm sure it will be much tighter and a whole lot of fun. Thanks to everyone here for the knowledge and can't wait to send some more rounds downrange this weekend!
