I don't shoot Hi brass much anymore. This 70 yr. old shoulder won't take the punishment. If I choose my shoots lo brass gets the job done.IMNVHO nothing compares w/ an Ithaca.
Rem Wing Master (older one)... I have a 20 gauge & great for hunting...No jamsI've always used a SxS, but #2 son is looking for a 12 ga pump gun for hunting/ clays/home defense . Need something that takes choke tubes so he can use it for brids, clays and slugs for deer.
Recommendations?
Remington made LH 870s, no need to go with a MossbergHey D,
For a right hander, the Rem 870.
For a left hander, the Mossberg.
(not knocking Ithaca... just more readily available accessories for the 870 & 500/550.)
The 870 safety is on the trigger guard. In such a fashion that the Left Handed have a neat trick of dealing with it.
The Mossberg safety is on the tang. Easily worked leftie or rightie!
Now, both make (and there are aftermarket parts galore) "Slug Barrels". Smooth & Rifled. One can use the same shotgun on the same day to hunt birds/rabbits/turkey and venison. Simply swap the barrel for slugs. 30 seconds max.
Both have choke tubes...
There are a variety of stocks, mag tubes...etc for both...and AFFORDABLE!
You can get a used Mossy for about $250 to $300. A little more for the 870..
Hope this helps...
Later, Mark
Or a Browning BPS, since they are ambidextrous.Remington made LH 870s, no need to go with a Mossberg
