Ok, so learn me on shotguns. I had a Remington 870 when I was growing up, sold it years ago when I joined the Army. Now I'm looking to start hunting again. Turkey coming up and I've got some good 'ol boys in San Sabo letting me in on their lease (Texas Hunters for Heroes ftw). Also, I'm from WA state, may end up back there some day (parents are actually moving to Austin, but still lots of family up there). And we do lots of ducks and water fowl. Couple of questions.
1. Loved the 870, but I'm seeing the 887 around now. Is it an evolved 870 as they claim? Why is the synthetic stock so stupid looking?
2. I wouldn't mind a tactical/home defense shotgun as well, is there anything that fits in both categories? Or is it one of those areas where you are really better off having 2 specific role guns?
3. Open to any recommendations, 12 gauge pump, I'd like to keep it under $500 for the weapon itself.
