RE: 870 scope setup
thanx guys...after looking at the side saddles i may see if i cant just have it drilled and tapped. i had the mauser done..it wasnt expensive. i bet i can have it done comparable to the side saddles...i just dont like the look of the side saddle type mounts
i still dont know if i want a scope, red dot, or holo sight. i dont think id have any problem with a GOOD red dot or holo sight from leupold or someone good. i'll pay for it...but those low objective scopes are gunna burn me i know it. the day i put one on is the day i wish i didnt. a 32 may not be bad..but alot are 20...i know that would be like looking through a key hole in a door for me.
i just got a terrible habit of snap shooting. honestly i should have ANY spring birds to my name. i knew sooner or later i was gunna miss. thankfully the hevishot put a hurtin on the bird and i got him taken care of...guess ill have to head to a shop and see what i like best...figure i'll have my turkey gun forever...might as well do her right. also going to see if knoxx or remington cant get me their tactical stock with recoil buffer in camo...if not i know advanced technology already makes theirs in camo. then i'll have my dream turkey slayer. i broke both my wrists at the same time and the dr was nice and gave me removable air casts...he doesnt know me well. within a week or so i barely wore them. took my right one off and was fishin most of the time. didnt hurt too bad why not??!? well i have about barely any side to side motion in my wrists...holding my turkey gun is a killer. part of the reason i snap shoot. i cant keep my gun on my knee and hold it
i think a scope and pistol grip will solve my problems...and put my pattern where it needs to be.
