I agree with REDALLISON about the 870 express rusting up but I just keep mine oiled and I have no problem. I love my gun (870 Express combo).The slug barrel was dead on at 100 yards right out of the box and it came with extra chokes. I love using the full choke insert with 00 buck. I have dropped deer in excess of 70 yards right in thier tracks.I don't use the slug barrel too much because I like hunting thicker /low cover areas and this gun has done the job far exceeding my expectations.I know it isnt a pretty gun but, I want a gun for funtionality not asthetics.I don't want to worry about scratching the stock of a gun while I'm in the woods.
