I finally got my firearm purchaser card earlier this year. I've been looking around the few places I know of in New Jersey for a Remington 870 Express with a synthetic stock and a field barrel (since I already have a slug barrel and scope I used on my friend's 870 last season), but no places had any. Yesterday I spontaneously went to Cabela's though and found one used. It has a 28" barrel with a removeable choke... the choke it came with was an extra-full turkey choke so I think I'll have to get some other chokes for it!

I also looked around at .22s there, and not seeing anything used that was very interesting I bought a Savage Mark II with a synthetic stock and stainless barrel. I was shooting that earlier today and I like it... I actually like the way the accu-trigger feels and the way the gun in general handles. It's fairly accurate too... I was just shooting offhand and shooting an inch at 30-40 yards!

I also picked up a locking two-gun case, some trigger locks, and some Federal .22 ammunition. I'm satisfied!

Don't have any experience with the Savage but the 870 is one of the best out there. Congrats.

Firearm Purchaser Card? How do they get away with that? I hope you enjoy those new guns!

Don't leave them in the gun case as storage. That an invitation for rust. Hope you enjoy your new pieces.
