I have a 12 gauge Mossberg 500 field gun in wood with 28" barrel. I also bought an 18 1/2" barrel for it. I have an H&R Topper Deluxe Classic 12 gauge with 28" barrel. I would like to also have a Remington 870 one of these days, preferably a Wingmaster. You have a nice collection, I think.
It'll take us a long time to catch up with Blooch-ha ha.

I've currently got two scatterguns: a Remington 870 Tactical Magnum (12gx3", 20" Cyl bbl, 3-shell extention, park'ed OD green, pistolgrip buttstock w/ R3 pad) and a Baikal IZH-43 SxS (12gx2.75", 26" fixed-choke Mod/Full bbls, hammerless, twin triggers.)

shotgun...

Mine is a Remington 870 police magnum, parkerized with 18" Bbl. I've added a Wilson 2-shot mag extension and tactical sling. Pachmayr Vindicator pistol grip and fore-end. Hi viz non-binding shell follower and over-sized safety. I attached the sling at the grip with a Daniels sling loop. This is a close-quarters weapon. Definitely not for duck hunting.

Currently, just a Browning BPS Hunter 12 gauge with a 28" barrel (I need to get the shorter upland barrel soon!). I recently traded off my NEF single-shot 12 gauge. I am very happy with the BPS.

I'd love to acquire a nice SxS some day ... Okie, you don't need all of those 311's, do you?

I currently own:
Browing 425 Citori Sporting Grade 1 30" ported( the best competition gun I've ever owned)
Browning BPS 28" (duck slayer)
Remington 1100 26" ( my favorite one out of them all)

I started at age 12 with an 870 youth model and traded it and money for the 1100 - that was the stupidest thing I've ever done. I should have just kept it for my kids. Now if a gun goes in the safe it doesn't come back out.

Just rem 11-87. I don't have a lot of $$, so i decided to buy one good one. (although i would LIKE an ithaca m37 and a saiga. . . but i guess while i'm wishing, i'd take a parazzi, but that ain't happenin. )
I became a "gun nut" about 2 months later.

Remington 870 Express 12ga 28" - my first shotgun I got for Christmas back in 97
Benelli M1 Field 12ga 24" - I love my 870 but after 8 years a wanted another gun this past spring.

I love them both, but even though my M1 is a much more expensive gun, it will never match the sentimental value of my 870.

Three shotguns, two fairly new, one is older but never fired (all three are 12 ga.):

* Remington 870 Express (approx. 15 years old), won it in a poker game a few months back from someone I know, I personally have not fired this gun yet.

* Fairly new Remington 870 Express - turned it into a tactical HD weapon, I like this gun. Unfortunately in Ca. not many places to shoot it, slug shooting only. Pics posted in threads on this website.

* Newly purchased Berreta AL391 Teknys Gold Trap semi-auto. This shotgun will get alot of use. Going to seriously learn how to shoot precision trap. Currently have parts of the gun sent out for custom work to be done. Will have it all back together in about two weeks!
