20ga 870 deal

[Wolfdog91 6,920]

Wife moved in with me officially and realized I dit. Really have a home defense gun set up for her for when I'm out . Told her today we where gonna go hunting for her a shotgun. Took out $400 ( she said she'd skin me alive if I tried spending more on her .....and y'all think I'm a cheapskate) Was gonna get a maverick 88 from Walmart since their like $219 and never heard of any real issues ( more then a few deal where people tried to break /burn them down and they just didn't), but as usual no one at the desk no price tags on anything. Said screw it. Went to the pawn shop with her in tow , walk in asked about a 20ga pump , they said they might have some set up for turkey. Spotted one off by its self and asked about it . Rem 870 20ga express magnum said they wanted $299.99. told him to ring it up before he finished talking ! I have NEVER seen a 870 around here in anything other then a 12ga and half the time they want $500+ other then a few scuffs and some light rust spots looked good over all. Spent another $80 on a lil light a pic rail , some shells and a sling. Might have to start  a long more as my lucky charm at this point lol.

But yeah got the light set up with a palm switch and runs just fine

Got some federal 8's just to shoot and get her familiar with it . Enw sup it had a lil choke already in it.not really a shotgun person so I just kept it in there. And since your supposed to pattern this thing I put a box out and shit it at 10yd 

AAnd then at 20

Idk I guess it's ok ? Again not a shotgun person. Gonna be getting her some buckshot or something heavy tomorrow. Will say though found a old bucket full of shooting clays in the shed and had a decent bit of fun tossing them up and trying to shoot them before they hit the ground.... Might have to get into this shotgunning stuff a little more
