Watching a 3-gun video on here has me wondering about it.
An auto is out of the budget, and I've already got most of an 870 sitting here. All I need now is a barrel, some mag parts (including an extension) and maybe some better sighting.
Mostly I'm wondering about the barrel. What would be a 3-gun friendly barrel length and choke to run? Also, what kind of shells get used most?
I was thinking about running a 20" improved cylinder barrel on it. I'm actually considering one with a vent rib and run a HiViz on it (I'm not a huge fan of ghost rings because IMO they don't offer a huge advantage inside 50 yards and put you at a disadvantage on moving targets).
What do you say?
I'd probably want to invest in a 9mm eventually, too. 8 round magazines suck in competitions. Got the rifle covered, even if what I've got isn't quite as quick to reload as an AR, I'll make it up with rate of fire.
