[QUOTE="Rimfire, post: 194792, member: 8839"] Bob33 I went through the same thing years ago when I moved to a shotgun county. I tried many combos 1100 , 870 hastings barrels and others. Then I ran into Randy Frits (spelling ?) of Tar Hunt rifles and shotguns and it became clear. He does R&D for Lightfield. After a long talk the final result was as mentioned barrel reciever fit is iffy at best. So it doesn't matter if you shoot scope or open sights if the lock up flexes under recoil you will often get poor results or two group. An easy fix is make it a slug gun only and have a barrel fitted. The barrel can be removed by a smith if need be. Or have a bolt gun built but that will cost a lot more $. I started shooting an H&R Ultra while I was going to have a custom built. The lock up is tight and I never looked back. This low $ slug gun shoots with the best of them. [/QUOTE]
