Wabi, that was what I was thinking. The older 1100s with the 2&3/4" chamber and 26" barrel was a light and reliable gun that hardly kicked and that is why I was looking for one. Tyler does have an 870 express 20 with a turkey barrel but his arms are real short and he can't quite reach the fore stock to pump it without bringing it down. If I don't find an 1100 I may just get a vented rib barrel for the 20 ga and let him keep on pumping. BTW, I certainly would never entertain the idea of someone "giving" me a gun. Thanks for the replies.

Hi Ray---for now why don't you get Tyler another stock for his gun and shorten it in 2 steps and put the pieces back in as he grows. Lon--the elf.

So would I.

VixChix, when I saw your gun, I thought the arrow was edited in to point out some small amount of damage to the stock

You've got a good point there Long Train.

We don't shoot many slugs down this way Bob, mainly buckshot. Nothing beats a 30" full choked barrel with 00 Buck for whitetails in the thick brush down here

I have an 870 wingmaster.I love it. Have the fully rifled barrel, and the smooth bore slug barrel. The short barrels really punish you when shooting 3in slugs. I was going to get the Reminton 105 cti last month, but they have yet to come out with a slug barrel for it. If you know someone in your area with a gun like this maybe they'd let Tyler shot it to see if he likes a gun that kills at both ends!

Mossberg 535 2 barrel combo (if you shot rifled slugs I'd say the 3 barrel combo). It lacks the prestige of an 870 Wingmaster but it's light (synthetic), shoots up to 3 1/2 inch, comes with 3 coke tubes plus the turkey choke on the turkey barrel. You can also use the other chokes on the turkey barrel with makes for a nice bush gun or youth gun. It'll take a beating and keep coming back for more. Best of all is the price. I think the 2 barrel combo sells for $300 and change US.
