Any of the Big Four( Remington, Winchester, Ithaca or Mossberg) or the Nova will make a great Serious shotgun.

I,of course, think the 870's the best idea since indoor plumbing, but I doubt I'd be much less effective with any of the others.

More important than the make is the mindset. Determine to practice, think, and get used to Condition Yellow, this will do more good than all the bells and whistles that ST and Vang.etc, make.

Use any of those shotguns until it feels like a body part, and you're ready.

And anyone disagreeing with this is invited to a challenge.

Use ANY shotgun with ANY mods and addons you want. You decide the COF,target and ammo used.

I'll use Frankenstein, which has a bead sight, no mag extension, no fancy gunsmithing outside a long cone.

We'll shoot for score, time decides ties. Loser buys the coffee and Krispy Kremes. Results get posted right here.

Any takers? Heh, heh, heh....
