Title: Remington 870 sps 12
Post by: Old Timer on July 10, 2019, 03:38:45 PM
Rem 870 sps, klotz mount, pinned barrel. I removed monarch glass. This would make a nice Slayer with a 24 in barrel. I asked myself do I need another 12? What would you do with it?

What would you do with it?
Remove the scope mount and plastic stock, put a walnut stock on it and hunt.

I'm in on this too. My father who is in his 70s loves the m2  20ga I set up for him. Says its deadlier than any of the 12ga or 10ga he had used.

How did you set it up for him? barrel length, choke, load etc? Does it come drilled and tapped for scope? Thanks

I've got one exactly like it. It's a hammer on deer. If you deer hunt, I'd keep it. Nothing like a 12 gauge slug on a deer
