Remington Mod. 870 12-gauge shotgun

Bought this at a gun show in Lakeland in 2011.  Herb was down to FL after that and I needed a gun to shoot trap with him and to go and shoot sporting clays with him and his friends who winter down in FL.  Paid something like 300 bucks for it.  It's in great shape.  Was given by deceased owner's wife to have his gun club dispose of and I bought it from a member representing that club.  The Lakeland show was fabulous.  Hundreds and hundreds of people walking in and out of the convention center with rifles, shotguns, pistols in their hands, uncased!  Just amazing.  The anti-gunners would have fainted to see it.
Shot a few rounds of trap with it over the summer.

  1. Shot a round of trap at the Stoughton Conservation Club with Herb and some other guys. Hit 12 of 25...not my best but not too bad for me on the first round of the summer.

  2. Herb talked me into a round of skeet and it was a lot of fun. I hit 12 birds out of 25 which is what I did in trap, but we were shooting singles only and not on the last two stations, because of another event going on. Still, it wasn't too bad. Lots of difference from trap.
