Is there a difference between the Mossberg version and the Remington version of the rifled with cantilever Scope mount barrel for the 870 express? The Mossberg is $100 cheaper for what looks like the same barrel. Thanks.

I had a Mossy and a Hastings cantilever for my 870. The Mossy held a better group...with the shells I had available (5 types).

Don't you think there are merits of matching manufacturer? I see this with ammo too...I shoot an 870 - why not start with the green and yellow slug boxes?
It doesn't bother me. I can put the savings into a scope. I can get the barrel direct from Mossberg for $187.

Do a search
As I did a quick one and the first place I looked
http://www.lg-outdoors.com/proddetail.asp?prod=SS_21585
Was like $170 with a scope , not a big $ scope but , but a scope
So IMO if you look a little , you might be able to save some $$
Also
Let me check a local gunshop
I might be able to get you a price that is better

Brenneke K/O seemed to do just as well or better than other saboted slugs at 100 yards (2"+/-) and I get them cheap.

In the woods believe it or not I am shooting. these for 100 yard groups like a softball. 5 bucks a box.
For a true Sabot it will shoot these into 2 inch groups.
It will shoot Rem Copper solids great to. But i have had 2 of them just blow to pieces in a deer.
Yep I was getting 2" out of the Supreme Sabots also.

p.s. The Brennekke were more like 2.5@100

I agree the Kent KO's are a good slug
I have never hit a deer at 100 yds with them
But at 75 yds last year
I broke the front shoulder closest to me and it exited just past the last rib on the off side
That doe when straight down
At 100 , I get 3-4" groups with the KO slugs
More than good enough for me

I hunt alot of open ground and like the Winchester Supremes. Pricey for sure but I seldom think about ammo costs when I am judging the distance and can I make the shot. I killed a yote at 110 yards and my buck was every bit of 80+ facing me, small kill zone. I want to do the yardage, windage, and put the crosshairs where they need to be and not worry.
BTW Mike I have a 12 pack carton full of boxes of slugs Ray gave me. All different brands and styles, come on out with your new toy and lets see what fits best. You need to get get your meat anyway.......bring beer.

So I went and shot my 870 for the first time with the fully rifled mossberg scope combo that was supposedly bore sighted at the factory. Bore sighted my ass! I started at 50 yards. Nothing. Then 25 yards. Nothing. Then 10 yards. Six inches low! LOL!:smiley_crazy:
my buddy baught a 870 combo from dicks sporting goods 3 shots had it sighted dead on , shooting same hole at 65 yards with k0 's
I said fugg it and went home. I'm going to bore sight it in the basement and then give it another shot Tuesday. I shot My Savage ML-II. That gun is sweet. I'm going to cuddle with it. I'm all new to the gun world. This is only my second year shooting.
