Remington 870 12 Ga Magnum with a rifle sighted barrel and Indian Creek choke. My wife won it at a DU banquet in the early 90's..

Couple years ago I bought one of the camo 870s with the surshot stock. Put a red dot on it, had the barrel polished and spent a lot of time patterning it so far it's account for 7 birds with 3.5 inch #5 longbeard

I usually use my M87 Ithaca 12 gauge DU Model with a 26" barrel and Williams Firesight add on sights.
The laminated stocks were changed to synthetic several years ago.
It has a full choke in it and I use 5's or 6's.
I also have a turkey barrel for the M87 with a Turkey choke also but never seem to bother to put it on.

18 yrs. ago got a great deal on a camo Mossberg 500A 12 ga. from a guy getting divorced. Drilled & tapped with screw in chokes. Put on a 2.5x Leupold , screwed in an extra full choke tube and I'm good to go.

Great thread. I've been using my wife's youth Mossberg 500 20ga. for years. 3" #6's. Next Spring I'm planning on using a Rem 870 I picked up in 28 gauge. I gave $220 all-in for the gun in new condition. I only bought it out of '28' curiousity and it being a great buy. I don't think it's been fired. Going to try the TSS in #9 in that gun. Rumor is that load is a stone cold killa to 40 yards. Couple of birds...
