What are yalls thoughts on this Remington 887? Seems like a good idea,but to me the slide release is to much like the trigger and when it counts someone could accidentally pull it and release the slide when they want to pull the trigger.I like wood but I also like a gun that is very durable and weather resistenet........I dont know what to think, maybe its just a sad attempt to compete with the benelli novas.

I don't knock anyone's choice as to what they shoot, or what bullet they choose to use. I will say that for most any game in GA a standard cup and core bullet like the Sierre GameKings, or Core Lokt's etc.. is completely sufficient. I don't feel you need a premium bullet. In my opinion shot placement is the key. I have seen far more animals lost because of bad shots than bullets not performing. Now with that said, for years...
