I shoot one just to tick off the Doctors and Laywers around here.

I have shot one of the cheap 870 synthetics (3" shells max) for three years at both skeet and sporting clays. I love love nothing more than to beat the tar out of the rich guys on the coarse shooting $3000++++ guns. I was top shooter in the league last year and they just snarl when they see my gun.

I convinced my boss to buy a super mag and its survived his not so nice handling. Drove over it with a suberban one and it was fine and I stripped it to a handful of spring and bolts when he droped it into the loon turd in the swamp. 15 minutes and it was knocking geese down. A good oiling that night and no rust.

The only compaint I ever had was that the bluing was thin and to that I say --- What do you expect for a $150-250
