Scattergun Technology - 12 gauge shotgun

[rep308]

I've had my eye on this for awhile and was wondering if anyone here own or has seen one:

It is a beefed up Remmington 870 with some nifty add ons. My first firearm was a Mossburg 500 and I am a believer in the power of a 12 gauge. Opinions please?

There was one for sale at Four Seasons just recently. Didn't seem worth the money to me, but to each his own.

That seems like a lot of dough for an 870.

It might not be the same, but I'm pretty sure I saw the same gun somewhere in this episode of Shotgun news for around four hundred.

Lots of money but man thats one BAD LARRY

It's the top of the line for a home defense shotgun, from the finish, to the barrel length, to the action. But the price is rediculous. You can buy an 18" 870 with a full magazine for around $320.00 which will do everything that thing will do. And the ghost ring sights for home defense are pointless. You get on target with a brass bead faster anyway, and the brass bead is gonna be nice and shiny out there so you know where it is as your shouldering it. I wouldn't put a sling on a home defense gun either.

Nice, but that price just don't cut it as others have said.

Cool looking gun and apparently they are a supplier to the US Border patrol. I love shotguns and the 870 is definitely one of the best. But, seriously at that price build your own.

I am pretty sure the base gun is an Express model anyway. For that kind of money it should be a Wingmaster.

This guy does some serious work on shotguns. May be cheaper than Wilson and he is in MA. Check him out.

For that kind of dough - go Benelli and never look back...

I have a Benelli Super Black Eagle, left hand, with a 26" barrel. I kind of outsmarted myself in that I can not find and replacement barrels.

Thank you Xak for the link to Larocca gun works, that looks like a good option

and add the Knoxx stock, and you will have a gun that a 12 year old can shoot magnum shells at pumpkins all day long ........ ask me how I know
