I really appreciate all of your help to date!

I was down at the shop that I normally buy from, they have a Remington 870 Home Defense. It has synthetic stock, and 18' barrel. No sling studs, no extended magazine tube. $259

Do you think that this is a fair asking price for the weapon? I should mention that I have a $100 credit at the shop, so that will help influence my decision.

From the reading of this forum, I've decided that I'd add to the weapon the following.

Scatter gun tech 2 shell extender w/ sling mount $45

Scatter gun tech stock swivel $4.95

Jumbo head safety $12

I was planning on skipping a side saddle for now. Although I do have a buttstock thingy that I would probably add.

Although this from the Remington website does bother me. "Note: the Model 870™ Express® HD is intended for personal use and will not accept law enforcement accessories. " Why is this? does anyone know?

I understand that I have to look up the Hunting regulations for this state for shotguns before I went hunting with this piece. Anyone to be a critic?
