I finally got some photos snapped of my shotguns, and thought I would post them here to see if anyone would like to take a look at them. Note: if I don't list a bore size in the following descriptions, it's a 12 Gauge.
First up are my home defense style shotguns, and I'll start by posting my Remington 870 Police Magnums. The top gun is a Remington Model 24899 870 Police Magnum. Below it is a Remington Model 24903 870 Police Magnum.
As you can see, one is a high polish blue with bright chrome bolt and standard capacity magazine. The other one is Parkerized and has a factory two round magazine extension. I can tell you right now, the top one is easier to strip down for cleaning, but I like them both, so I'm not going to complain about it.
Up next are two more home defense style guns. On top, a Mossberg 500, and below, a Browning BPS.
Of these two, I slightly prefer the Mossberg due to its ability to side load the first round, and for its large safety.
Next I have some Remington field guns, in the following order, top to bottom. Remington 870 Express 200th Year Anniversary Model, Remington 870 Wingmaster Magnum, Remington 870 Wingmaster, and Remington Model 1100 LH.
All of these are fitted with 28" barrels in the photos. I do have an 870 30" Trap Barrel, and it has spent some time on the 870 Wingmaster Magnum with very pleasing results. I would also like to add that the Left Handed Model 1100 has been an all around workhorse (for years, it was the only shotgun I owned) accounting for plenty of wild pheasant, lots of dove, and proving more than adequate on the skeet and trap fields.
Next up are my sporting guns, and while you may have noticed a Remington theme when it came to my field guns; you will see that all of my sporting guns are Brownings. Yes, I like the Browning break action shotgun.
The following two guns are my dedicated trap guns, although one of them is perfectly capable of working itself in to a round of skeet or sporting clays and doing it quite well.
On top is my Browning BT-99 Trap Grade III with 34" barrel. Bottom gun is a Browning Citori XT Trap with 32" barrels.
The next photos are of my Browning Citori White Lightning in .410 Bore with 28" barrels.
The addition of a KICK-EEZ recoil pad (to extend the length of pull) and a trigger shoe turned what was a field model into a pretty decent skeet and sporting clays gun and I used to shoot it quite a lot. It's still a great gun, but as you will see, it's not my only .410 anymore.
Next up is my Browning Citori XS Special with parallel comb and 32" barrels.
And now for some of my favorites, this is a group photo of three guns bearing the same exact model name; the Browning Citori Special Sporting HIGH-POST. They are, top to bottom, 12 Gauge, 28 Gauge, and .410 Bore. All three have 32" barrels.
The above guns are made by Browning exclusively for Guns Unlimited in Omaha, Nebraska, to the best of my knowledge. They certainly aren't catalogued items. The .410 Bore has become my go to gun for most fun filled endeavors. Every time I shot it, I wondered why all .410 Bores don't come from the factory with 32" barrels?
Next, and last, is one of my for sure favorite shotguns! This is my Browning Citori 625 Sporting Golden Clays LH with 32" barrels.
The first time I ever fired the 625 was at my local club in a round of sporting clays. I had literally picked the gun up the day before from my FFL dealer and took it straight to the club the following morning and proceeded to shoot a 60 round course with my new gun. I hit 40 targets straight before I finally missed on my 41st shot! That experience may be why I'm so attached to this particular gun. Well, that and the fact that besides my Remington 1100 LH field gun, this is the only truly left hand specific shotgun I currently own.
It's been a long time since I was able to shoot my sporting guns, and I really miss it. For some unknown reason, I have been really slow to heal (where they split my chest open) after the open heart surgery. I'm patiently waiting, and hopeful that I'll be able to spend some time in the very near future with some of my favorite shotguns.
Thanks for looking at my post, I hope you liked the photos!
