Finally Got An Original Bottomland 870
« on: April 29, 2020, 01:45:11 PM »
I finally found a real good Original mint condition Original Bottomland 870. It came with all the paperwork, chokes, and best of all the unused bottomland sling. I plugged in the serial number, it is an October 1992 gun. I believe that’s the first year. It has a 26 inch barrel. I wanted to get the forums thoughts on an aftermarket choke and recommended loads and possible optic add without drilling and tapping. I saw bad reviews about Burris spread bead mount, but I welcome the forums input. Thanks much....

For an optics mount, check out Meadow Creek Mounts

Just ordered the meadow creek mount, and Burris Fastfire 3. You guys are the best. The mount looks easy, and non-invasive on the integrity of the gun,...as usual, thanks......

Congrats on a great find. While I prefer a bit shorter barrel for a turkey gun, you got yourself a classic!
