Hello all! As stated in the title, I am contemplating replacing the barrel on my 870 Express. I have been looking at the following with the goal of keeping under a $200.00 budget.
7-MB92356 - Remington 870 12 Gauge Barrel and Scope Combo
Trak-Lock® II Ghost Ring Sight Set | Tritium Front & Rear-Wilson Combat
My first thought is, if I am going to place a scope on the current setup I might as invest in a rifled barrel for deer hunting. My alternative thought is, place tritium sights on for home defense and stay with the smooth bore barrel using rifled slugs for hunting. Keep in mind I am an inexperienced hunter planning my first outing this season.
Thoughts?
