If thats your worst decision ever you are leading a charmed life. Got my first 870 for my 11th Christmas, about 22 years ago. A 20 gauge express. Killed my first dove, rabbit and duck with it. Also slummed it on the skeet field on many occasions, even when I had nicer guns available. She’s slicker than snot and dead reliable. I got a 12 gauge express a few years ago and it was junk, so I gave that one the boot.
My grandpa blessed me with his model 12 and model 37 when he passed. The Winny a 12 gauge and the Ithaca a 16 lightweight. Both great guns that will stay with me til my dying day. They’ll be sitting next to my 870 in the safe unless I die in the field hunting with one of the three.
