re: Remington 870 American Classic - Would you buy it?

walked into Bass Pro in Prattville, AL this past 4th of July weekend...my 13 year old had a pocket full of money leftover from his birthday and cutting grass....Remington was having a bicentennial sale going on and they had an 870 behind the counter he couldn't take his eyes off of...like he was looking at a cute blonde with a curvy arse...


anyway...when it was all said and done he still needed like 40 bucks to cover the tax....so I helped him out...against his mother's wishes...and he walked out with that brand new 870...grinning from ear to ear...his first gun purchase and one he earned in the hot summer cutting yards...

hopefully some day he will tell some sappy story about his dad and his first 870...

I've also got a Wingmaster that belonged to my deceased FIL...one of my boys will end up with that beautiful piece from the grandfather they never met...


this is yet another reason why Amendment #2 is so damned important
