I BOUGHT A 870 IN 2000 IF YOURS HAS A RIFLED BARREL TRY LIGHTFIELD OR FEDERAL IN 2-3/4 INCH DONT USE 3 INCH SHELLS THEY WONT PATTERN. THE ONLY DEF. BETWEEN THE LIGHT, AND THE FEDERAL IS THE LIGHTS LEAVE A BIGGER HOLE. BUT AT 70 TO 75 YARDS WITH OUT A REST I CAN HIT THE SME HOLE ALMOST EVERY TIME. BY THE WAY I HAVE A 20 GUAGE IT IS A LOT MORE FORGIVEING NO BRUSING
