Whether the bill passes or not, I am still going to use my new shotgun that I gotlast Christmas. I still haven't fired a shot out of it yet.
It's the new Remington 870 Express Mag. Synthetic with 23" cantilever rifled barrel. Exact same gun as the 870 SPS "Super Slug," butcheaper because of a crappier finish on the metal. As long as I get the same performance as the Special Purpose version, I don't care. Actually, my shotgun replaced the SPS "Super Slug." That gun is discontinued, so any Super Slug gun you see is what was left over from last year.
If you want to check it out on Remington's website, here's a link:

With that new longer barrel, I am good to 125-150 yards. Even if I had a rifle, I wouldn't shoot beyond 125-150 yards anyway. I will probably get a rifle just as a back up. I know that a lot of people will do the exact opposite. I have shot a shotgun my whole life, never shot a rifle. I am still for the rifle bill, but why would I change when I am doing fine with the shotgun.
