OK Remington fans, let me hear it. I'm going to start Trap (not Skeet, Trap) shooting this year if it ever warms up, and after looking at the O/U options and deciding that buying a low-end O/U is pretty much a waste, I'm opting to look at the 870 line. Now, I already have some Mossberg 500's for other duties, so this 870 would be for Trap and only Trap shooting. Unless I could find a functional 870 complete for $100 or less (yeah right), buying the 30" barrel and correct wood would put me at the price of a good used 870TB (30" fixed Full) anyways, so I'm starting there.
So why should I get one? What are the major benefits of the 870 in the trap config vs. another pump-action? I'm not to keen on a semi-auto on the trap line, just due to shells hitting the person to my right, and installing a catcher seems....odd.
