Nice bucky.

A lamb???

wayta go dude...1187?

Nice one, I shoot a scoped 870 gotta love the Remingtons..

Yes, it is a 1187. Weighs a ton though! Depending on the hunt I will carry a 870 instead sometimes.

NIce buck, Congrats. We use 870's too. My son has a youth 20 gauge. sweet little slug gun. He took a small buck with it yesterday

Nice buck! :)

How is the barrel: rifled, rifled choke or smooth bore ? I was thinking of getting a slug barrel for my Dad's 11-87 SF. I never really liked the smooth barrell on the Browning BPS in 20 ga (got it before they allowed rifled barrels in MA :P) - I tried the Remington & Brenneke slugs in it and neither were great groupers.

Congrats, gret deer! Rifled barrels are the way to go, groups the slugs great, but Buckshot through the same barrell will not hold as well.

Remington 1187 with Cantilever Scope Mount Rifled barrel. It is awful heavy though. And the sabot slugs to go with the rifling are not cheap. If I could do it again I would stick with a smooth barrel and scope on an 870. Rifled slugs @ $3-4 a box work just fine for most distances around here. Depends on preference and conditions I guess. :deadhorse:

Congrats on your Buck.

Thanks Everyone.
