OK so after lots of reading and hands on feeling multiple shotguns multiple times at various stores ive decided on one to get....

Well I havent really decided yet. When I get back from vacation Im going to take a pocket full of cash and get which ever one feels right in my hands at the time and never look back. Ive decided I cant really go wrong with what ever one I get. And they can be customized to get a correct fit. So more reading and bruised shoulders from the 870 for the time being.

Hmmm. don't have a dog in this fight as I am a die-hard pump-guy. I shot an 870 TB for years in ATA, thought it was the best pointing shotgun I've ever shouldered. Recoil never seemed to bother me. I foolishly sold it and bought a Browning Superposed. Another great shotgun but, didn't point like the 870.

When I look at a shotgun, I pick a point high up on a wall,stare at it, close my eyes and shoulder the gun. Then I open my eyes. 870s are the only shotguns I've ever done this with that consistantly had the sight pointed right where I was looking. not very scientific but, it works for me.

My problem is that now, I'm having this obscene infatuation with Side by Sides......
