Top gun is my trusty 870 Express. I think it was one of the original ones, I got it in '86. I remember the year because I know I hunted on my friends property while recovering from some serious surgery that caused me to give up my tickets to game 6 of the world series... It has the stock 28" barrel, pictured with a ventilator choke, an R3 Recoil pad, and a simmons scope on a Tasco mount with the turkey reticle. I replaced the wood stock with a synthetic Remington stock so I could fit the recoil pad on it, found the stock at wally world marked down to $13! The 20" barrel is a smooth bore slug barrel that is deadly accurate at short ranges, I never sighted it in past 50.

The bottom gun is an 835 with a Sims recoil pad and jelly head choke tube. Its got a 20" barrel and will be my turkey gun this year. I'm using aftermarket sights (Tru-glo, I think) but next year it will be getting a scope. The one on the slug barrel is a Nikon, I might use that, haven't decided. It's putting 165 pellets in a 10" circle @ 40 yards (#6 hevi-13's 3.5" 2.25 oz)
