I cannot decide which to buy i originally had my heart set on the T3 but i thought about it a little bit and i am so pleased with the quality of my Remington 870 shotgun that i figured why not get another remington. I only have one thing i don’t like on either gun. With the remington the trigger pull is almost impossible to change where as the Tikka you have one screw and your done. But on the tikka i dont like the bolt handle being drilled out and all. i think it looks like its not quit finished where as with the Remington it has a nice textured bolt handle. i also cannot decide on what scope to get for either rifle. A Nikon Buckmaster 4.5-14x-40mm or the Bushnell Elite 3200 4-12x-40mm or the Bushnell Elite 3200 5-15x-40mm. I have been using Nikon products for many years and they have outstanding quality where as Bushnell has just in the near past stepped up on their quality. the scopes are all in the 0-0 range. I LOVE Bushnell’s Multi-X reticle but the Nikon Nikoplex reticle falls a litte short for me. Thank You!!!

HANDS AND FEET ARE USED MORE OFTEN TO KILL PEOPLE THAN ANY KIND OF RIFLE! It makes A LOT more sense to completely ban handguns than ANY kind of rifle, "assault weapon" or not. And keep in mind semi-automatic means the gun fires one round for each trigger pull, unlike fully automatic guns which fire continuously until the trigger is let up or the ammo is gone, and fully automatic weapons have been heavily regulated since the National Firearms Act of 1934.

Rifles have never been a problem. So why people want them banned if they are rarely used to kill people?
Oops the handgun percent was cut off.

50.76%
Philo BTW, I am a left winger. More specifically a libertarian progressive. But I’ve met gun owning mainstream liberals as well.
Andrew D, these stats are for ANY kind of rifle. And assault rifles are fully automatic. Assault WEAPONS are semi auto rifles with "scary" features like pistol grips and bayonet lugs.

"Assault weapons—just like armor-piercing bullets, machine guns, and plastic firearms—are a new topic. The weapons’ menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons—anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun—can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons. In addition, few people can envision a practical use for these weapons." -Josh Sugarmann

I would have to say my Ithaca 37, It is known to be my very first shotgun. I know for sure it is an older model due to the Magazine nut pin, which was used for leverage to screw or unscrew the magazine nut, and also having low matching serial numbers on barrel and receiver. I know the later models didn’t have the magazine nut pin. i think they discontinued that part sometime in 1956. It’s in really great condition over all, but the bluing has been worn down. Its been well taken care of long before i had it, and still is being taken care of by me. It is the slickest action i have ever felt in any shotgun, trigger pull is crisp, i can easily place 4 rounds in the mag tube quickly, and this model can slam fire, which i’ve done a couple times with ease, i can shoot this shotgun faster than any semi auto shotgun i’ve fired, it’s that great. So tell me, what are is your favorite shotgun? If i had a 2nd and 3rd choice, it would be the Wincester Model 12, and Remington 870.
I know what you mean be bferg. Everyone is entitled to there own opinion on what’s there personal favorites

I am looking for an adjustable trigger assembly for a mossberg 500 shotgun. Aftermarket of course, but I cannot find one. Maybe someone can help me?

Thanx in advance.
This is my slug gun for deer hunting and the trigger pull is about 12 pounds! I would like to get it down to about 4 or 5 even..
