I thought about it awhile and recalled that Remington had recently made a run of 870 Express youth guns in 16 with 23" barrels and matte finish. They had stopped making them at that point and it took me a few months to find one. I bought one, ordered full sized camo synthetic stocks for it and got a XX Full Comp-N-Choke tube for it. Chosen load was the Federal Premium 1 1/4 oz Magnum. Worked like a champ on this gobbler at about 35 yards. The next season I killed a young gobbler and a jake that threw his head into the pattern with one shot.

Terrific, SC.

I think ill try to track one down. Love the 16's. Can shoot all day with nary a bruise.

Do you have any model numbers on the replacement stocks? I really like the pattern.
