I started hunting in 1960 with a 870 12ga. with a polychoke. Killed my first dove, quail, treerat, rabbit, coon and deer with that gun before losing it when a boat overturned on a duck hunt. It was replaced by 2 870's. One was a 12 3inch Mag. which was hell on deer with number 1 buck ( back in the hound days ) the other was a 20 skeet gun which was my bird gun. Driving back from a South Dakota hunt a friend asked if I ever cleaned that gun. No need was the answer. We got to figuring and counted that 20 had been fired over 10,000 times without cleaning.( I take better care of my parkers ) They are great guns, one of the best. Danny
