First, 2000 feet MIGHT be enough room for a little pasture clays, but I'd rather have 3000. Sprinkling one's neighbors with even spent shot is conducive to ruining relations with same as well as possibly leaving oneself open to Reckless Endangerment charges.

Second, an older Wingmaster is a great choice. A classic design, well made and lasting for generations, and not with the newer,cheaper/PC parts.Barring neglect and/or abuse, there's no way to wear an 870 out this side of a trainload of ammo.

And, I do a fair amount of varied shotgunning, rather than specializing in one or two areas. A typical shooting year would include some informal "Practical" shooting and matches, trap and Sporting clays, upland,predator, turkey and waterfowl hunting,some slug shooting for deer,some instruction, and so on.

The only 3" loads here are steel or turkey loads. Most 2 3/4 loads I use aren't Max loads either, field and trap loads in 7 1/2 or 8, some 6s for squirrels,etc.
