Thanks for the tip jerry. That will be taken care of next check. I hope to take her out to the range maybe this saturday. Bought some 00 buck and some bird shot.
I have heard that 00 buck kicks like a mule. Im gonna be honnest i have never shot a shottie before. I do plan on picking up some #1 buck and maybe some slugs.
What is a good target round?
A shotgun kicks like any other rifle. It'll do what it does. Put the stock in the meat of your shoulder between your arm and shoulder and lean into it and you'll do just fine. Knoxx makes some good stocks, you'll do just fine if you go with their comp stock. In fact I'm thinking of putting one on my 870.
You may want to check out some of the tactical 00 buck with the flite control wad. It kicks less, doesn't give up that much in range and keeps a tighter pattern.
If you're going to be using this for home defense duties get a good light as you'll want to identify your target before engaging. If over penetration is a concern look at some number 6 or 7 shot. At typical ranges inside the home it's probably more devastating than buck shot and you don't have to worry about it going through multiple walls.
