I like movers, and sometimes there's more than one deer to be had.
Pump guns are way better for that stuff than bolt rigs.
If one wants to tune a pump gun, it might be better to stay with such a rig (rifled bbl of course).
The 220 might be a better option for folks wanting to just plunk $ down and go.
On my 870's (12 gauge) I go with high comb stocks, rifled bores, drill and tap the receiver and mount my scope low, for proper rifle like fit. I do trigger jobs and make sure my barrel fits snugly into my receiver.
Did run an old Police model, smoothbore, for kicks on season. There the bbl to receiver fit was worst I'd ever seen. Solution to bring it to usable accuracy was to layer two strips of masking tape on bbl flange and then tap bbl into receiver with wooden block at the muzzle.
Shot OK to 75, was hoping for better but it was repeatable. Smoked my deer up close and then sold the gun. My hunting partner bought my first tuned 870 and it's a 1.5" rig at 100. He's been racking up the kills with it.
I miss that gun
