...is always a fun one.

After looking around for a while I picked up a Remington 887 at Dicks sporting goods (on sale) for $370. It was too good of a deal to pass up. It was cheaper than some of the ones I've seen on the pre-owned market.

Yesterday I got a chance to put some slugs through it. At 60 yards I was really happy with the accuracy.

I also brought my mother to the range for the first time. She's never been against firearms, but also never really understood the draw. She'd never shot before, so I gave her a good amount of instruction on safety and operation and then set up up with my Ruger 10/22. Perfect way to get her started. She pegged a couple clays and now can't wait to go back!

I'd say it was a successful day!
 
My mother is a moderate anti. In the sense she puts up with guns but she refuses to allow me to carry when I'm over her place. "I don't want guns around your niece and nephew"

I need to get her to the range soon.
 
Here are a few pictures of the unboxing, cleaning and assembly on Friday:
