Or, simply add that later when it makes sense financially. If you can stand the expense, add the Vang Comp ported barrel with MMC sights (consider tritium in the front as well). ![]() This gives you the basics at a reasonable price (approximately $300 to $400, as I recall), and turns that hunting shotgun into much more of a defensive shotgun. I can tell you from personal experience that he is very 'user-friendly' when it comes to folks that have an 870, but aren't exactly sure what changes they want or need.Īt a minimum, I would respectfully suggest you consider an 18" barrel (bead sight, cylinder bore - Remington probably best, but Mossberg barrel's are available as well), mag extension, sidesaddle, and Giles sling. But, send an email to Hans and Bill (his sidekick), and they'll give you specific pricing and suggestions. If you go the whole nine yards, including 18" ported barrel, SureFire foreend, magazine extension (with high-visibility follower), sidesaddle, MMC sights, Giles sling, etc., then it will set you back about $1,200 as I recall. Hans is a shotgun expert, and to my knowledge, this is pretty much all he does. I don't have any experience dealing with Scattergun, but I did call them before I bought, and they seemed fairly helpful as well. I've dealt with Robar as well, and they're good folks. You'll never deal with a nicer guy or better company, IMHO. Joey, I'll put in a good word for Hans Vang. With the larger size buck, I know I could pick off someone holding a hostage in the classic "peek-a-bo bad guy" scene because there are no flyers and I absolutely know how my shotgun will pattern 100% of the time and the total pattern size is not too large. I really like tight dense equally spread out patterns. It really depends on what you are trying to with the shotgun. Your shotgun may in fact handle the smaller pellets better then mine or, perhaps my criteria for "acceptable" for use is not the same as yours. Across a room without intervening by standers in the way, this probably doesn't matter but, if the range opened up a little you would need to execute a shell drill to put something appropriate in use or run the risk of having stray pellets flying past the target and picking up unexpected 'victims'. ![]() With #4's, the pattern was spreading so fast, that while I still had good density, pellets were leaving the "man's" outline while still on paper. I don't have my B-27's handy so, can't quote figures in inches or shot patterns verbatim.Īt under 7 yards, I want 100% of the pellets in the target, no flyers are acceptable.
