Default RE: 1100 or 870

ORIGINAL: Duffy

I bought an 1100 and a Hastings rifled barrel. Put them together and topped it with a 2.5 power bushnell scope on an Asquare mount. (had to have the mount epoxied to the reciever side and then the bolts tightened a bit.That way the reciever was not squeezed by the tight bolts, which had stopped the action cycling)

With Federal sabot slugs it will shoot 2 3/4 inch three shot groups at 100 yards.

After having this slugrig for several years, I took the slug barrel off and put the original vent rib smooth tube back on. Took it out on a sweet goose shoot, where I had the birds landing 40 yards from my blind. That 1100 points and swings just right for me and I had no trouble killing my limit of canadas and a few mallards as well.

Did the same with BRN A-5 12ga.Have the Hastings ParadoxBarrel W/RS, the Original BRN VR 28" Barrel and Original BRN NVR 30" Barrel.

I also get 2-2/34" groups with the Hastings Barrel and Federal Sabots.
