My first gun was an 870 mag express with a youth stock and forend. That gun is almost 25 years old and still gets used. I just recently got a few chokes and started to tinker. I am not getting 150-160 with SSX and H13 7s.
I just ordered a camo kit from mossy oak and a tactical OD green stock and forend for it. I will post pics of the transformation.
After the disappointment with H13 in the 12ga(s) this might just be my primary gun.
Took my first deer, rabbit and about everything else with this gun.....I cant wait to roll a bird and add it to my collection.
I cant wait til my daughter and son are a little older so they can take their first animals with it also.
good luck
Good Luck...I have a gun that I've used for 20 years. Got it when I was young and I also can't wait to pass it on to my daughter when she is ready to hunt.
