I've been using my Remington 870 that can only shoot 2 3/4" shells. They work just fine.


True enough. But switching 12 gauge loads doesn't lessen the weight or bulk of the actual gun itself. A good 20 gauge will be a pound lighter and enough smaller physically to be appreciated by run and gun hill top hunters at days end.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
