11-87 project

[The_Real_TCIII]

Nice....mine liked the Hornady sst 2 3/4....i had Bushnell 3x9 on it and was very comfortable to 150....never did get into woods with it as I didn't own it very long....lol

I use Hornady SST slugs as well, they shoot better than I do

You might want to think about getting a muzzle loader, now a days they are accurate past 150 yards once you find the right combo. Not to mention you get extra time in the field with the added seasons

 

I have a CVA optima pro and have used it before during regular gun season. I like the reassurance of knowing there is a chance for a quick follow up shot. I have a 870 pump which has done the trick. I inherited the 11-87 and ended up buying a rifled barrel last weekend at the local gun shop for $150 plus tax. Just a fun little project.  I also hunt Cortland County a lot as well and that is rifle. 

 

Next on the list is a timney trigger kit, some glass, and should be ready to roll for next gun season.

Anyone had their shotgun barrel pinned?? Heard there was a guy in Weedsport that does this?

Why would you pin it?

Slug barrels tend to move and vibrate. Pinning it keeps the barrel to keep it in same place and supposidly makes a huge difference.

I got lucky and picked up a used " practically new" mossberg 500 20ga fully rifle slug gun with the cantilever mount and a fixed power scope at cabelas for 300 bucks... As stated above very accurate up to 100 haven't tested it past that yet but it does like the hornady sst's also ... Great gun! Very light too, can't wait to give we a whirl next season... Prior to that a traveled to a rifle county or just used my stoeger smooth bore ...
