JOG,
I been doing a little thinking. The 870 Express Mag I have, as I said, is a bit to heavy, but its a 28" barrel as well as the stock not fitting my wife. So what I think I'd do is, look for an extra buttstock and get a 'smith chop it to fit her LOP (that way I can retain the original buttstock in case she says its too powerful for her). My 870 is a RH, and I am a LH shooter. If this works well and the wife is happy, I would then look for a LH 870 for me.
With millions of 870 released to the market, you'd think there were surplus parts for an 870. Do you know where butstocks for 870 can be had?
The 870 I got, I only paid $150 and that includes shipping. I don't see any marks on the shotgun and it shoots well for me, sans the RH ejection. But that does not bother me.
Thanks and let me know where you can get a used wood butttock for a 870, and if I can locate one, I may just look for a shorter barrel (21"?) and be all set for the range again.
Thanks.
