Kain,  what do you shoot out of the 870?  #4 buck?
The only difference between a butt kisser and a brown noser is depth perception.

#1 buck.  Just in case a bear or cougar comes in during season.

I just picked up an 870 and a spitfire.  I'm hoping to break them in soon.

Tikka .223 varminter topped with a 3.5-10x50 vari X III or my latest fave Browning A-bolt .204. The .204 is a nasty nasty little fellow.

3 .223 ARs
1  6.8 SPC AR
1  CZ .204 Ruger
1  Remington 700 .22-250
1  H&R Topper .22 K-Hornet

And on, and on....  I'm living for the day when I get more coyotes than I have guns!
