I asked this in the ar forum of the ar, now I'd like to hear the opinions for a shotgun. If you could only have one shotgun for multiple applications how would you set it up? I shoot a decent amount of trap and just plain clay shooting with the guys, but also would like my 12ga to serve double duty as a hd/tacticle shotgun. what would your set-up (barrel, sights, stocks,etc)be?
Thanks Borbski |

I would use the Remington 870 and two barrels. One barrel, 18 inch bead sight, home defense. The other barrel a longer vent rib design using the Remchoke inserts to adjust the shot patter for the needed distance.
Side saddle to carry extra shells and a good recoil pad on the stock. Everything else added to the shotgun is just extra weight. |
I think I have less or around 400.00 total with evrything you see It may be a bit more now I don't know but you can search for what you will add and decide what adds up cheaper yourself between an 870 remy or a mossy 500 either will serve you well. this is a mossberg 500 field combo with choke tubes vent rib barrel a rifled slug barrel and I bought the 18 1/2 inch barrel seperate and added the mossy metal heatshield for looks. I have an 870 also I like them both . the mossy has a matching wood buttstock not in the pic

Quoted:
Remington 870 with an 20" barrel, imp cyl choke and a 2 shot extension. Side saddle or shell holder on the stock for 4-6 extra rounds Surefire dedicated forend or a quality light mounted to the barrel/mag extension. And tons of ammo to train with.  What he said. Nothing you can't do with that one. |

Nothing you can't do with that one. I don't think you're going to be shooting (hitting) too much trap or sporting clays with that, but its just about perfect. I like the 2-barrel idea and think I'd go with a 18-inch IC barrel with the XS sights (J.D. sells these, I don't have one yet, but love the idea and am hoping to get one soon) and a 26-inch VR barrel with Rem Choke. |
| My multi tool is a mav88. i had cut down to a 21in barrel and threaded for chokes, 13 lop stock same overall lenght as a 20in 870 with a standard stock. I shoot clays and rabbits with it all the time and even throw some slugs down range. I have a real problem trying to shoot clays with my 18" CB 590a1. Not so much the brand of shotgun as it is the setup |
