Used to use the 870 in this pic, but the 28" barrel caused me some grief every now and again. I hate being limited on where to set-up because I can't swing my barrel thru the saplings. I just bought the 835 w/20" barrel off a friend. Its in Hardwoods Green, has after market sights but I think next season I'm going to do a scope transplant. Not sure if I'm going to take the Nikon w/matching camo off the slug barrel and use it or take the simmons off the 870, or get something new all together. This rig doesn't put as many pellets in the 10" circle @40 as swamp collies, but when I finally got around to spending my last few $$ on hevi-13's the only choke I tried was my jelly head. I haven't tried putting them thru my pure gold yet. 165 pellets in a 10" circle @ 40 yards ain't too shabby...
