Ballseye's Boomers: Rem 870 in the hands of The Deer Hunter

Yep folks, that is Brendan all geared up and out in the woods on his first deer hunt. He is all duded up in his brand new blaze/camo hunting coat, and with the shotgun and daypack, he was ready for just about anything.

He is carrying my tried and true Remington 870. What can I say about the Remington that has not already been written; probably not much. It is a great all purpose pump action shotgun. It holds five rounds total of 2 3/4" shells (although others are chambered for up to 3" shells, and some come in magnum configurations). This is a Remington 870 Express combo. In other words it came with a subdued finish and 2 barrels. One barrel is a slug barrel, with rifle sights. The other is a 28" bird/trap/skeet/sporting clays barrel.

As for the young man, he is unique, and he is one great guy. Of course, I am a bit partial toward my son, so what could you expect me to do except say he is the greatest hunting buddy a guy could have.

All the best,
Glenn B
