My new gun

[megalomaniac]

I bought this gun last summer after my crew used an old 870 youth 20g with Federal reduced recoil tss 9 at 1000fps to kill 7 birds. I was so impressed I had to have one just for myself and not share with the kids

870 camo youth compact, 562-5 Sumtoy choke, drilled and tapped for picatinny rail, vortex venom reflex sight.

I got up and listened for gobblers for an hour and a half at the lease (heard none on 1000 acres- thank you neighbors running corn feeders) then patterned it.

Federal reduced recoil TSS no9, 1000fps, 1.5 Oz load. 225 in the 10, and 97% of the entire payload in the 20. A few small holes in the pattern, but should still hit like a swarm of killer bees.

I know I could get more with apex or handloads, but this will be more than adequate for my needs.

Good looking gun and pattern.

Nice rig!

Nice! I bought the same gun two years ago and love it. I'm shooting a 575 Carlson's in mine.

Sweet setup! What distance on the pattern, 40? I have a 562 and mount coming in from William too, but I have to ask what the "5" after 562 represents?

Yes at 40. The -5 is some proprietary secret he has (perhaps the channeling inside the choke) that is supposed to improve patterns with TSS.

Nice walmart special gun for $260... less than 45 TSS shells

Dead turkey every time mega, thanks for sharing.

Wish I could find a Walmart with one for that price.

Does this one have the 18" barrel

 

[megalomaniac]

Yup. 18in. Can handle and shoot it 1 handed if need be

I always say the same thing about my 20G.

Reason I asked is I found a good deal on an 18" remchoke barrel for my old fixed choke 870 20 was afraid wouldn't pattern with short barrel

Very nice set up

Very nice scattergun, really like the Remington 870. The shouldered barrel height makes them really nice in the woods.

I bought a youth last year also with 21" barrel and love it. I also had a project gun a single shot hammerless, I had Remchokes installed in. TSS has caused changes in my arsenal.

I have a 20 gauge 24" factory 870 barrel I`m thinking of selling. Its awesome, with target rib, dual beads and threaded. Blued steel.
