Good deal at the gun shop today...

[Derek69SS]

I stop in the local gun stores and pawn shops about once a week to check the selection of used guns... stopped in one where they said they were going to have a lot of consignment stuff coming in from a local collector.

Picked up a brand new, never fired Remington 870 Marine Magnum for $299 18" barrel, 6rd mag tube, and nickel finish. Retail is just under $800 Looks identical to this.

Rem 870...one of my favorite pump shotguns!! My #1 fav is the Ithaca model 37 (the old ones) with the botton eject. Got a couple brothers that are lefties.
Good buy Derek.

I shoot left handed, (I'm right handed, but left-eye dominant) so for sporting clays I use a Browning BPS for that same reason... bottom eject and ambidextrous safety. I have one other 870, and that also has an 18" smooth barrel, as well as a red-dot scope, flashlight, side-saddle, and pistol grips... keep it next to the bed.

Not sure what accessories I'll add to this one yet... I like tactical gear.

Me too. Do you bat righty or lefty?


Nice score by the way, D.

Shooting long-guns is really the only thing I have to do left handed. It amazes me how many others I talk to that have the same problem. It gets a little awkward sometimes, especially with right-handed bolt-action rifles.

My daughter is a left eye dominant right handed shooter as well. We are trying to fix that right now. When we go shooting I bought her some really nice shooting glasses and blacked out the left lens on them. This forces her to look with only her right eye. We do this for about an hour and then she takes them off for a little bit and she is slowly working the amount of time she can shoot right eyed up. Confused the heck right out of me why she was leaned so far over the gun to look through the sites when we first went.

Her being only 8 years old it is something that can be remedied yet with some practice.

Me too; I bat, and play my Gibson left handed but I bowl right handed. however, I can do almost every thing with both hands including writing. When I was younger they said my right eye was a lazy eye and they had me wearing a patch over the left eye for almost a year swatting tennis balls hanging from the celing with a plastic bat. Arg....

Hey Bill what is a ballpark figure for one of those model 37's?? I have a buddy that has one that he wants to get rid of, it is in good but not great condition, and it's a 16 gauge by the way.

Thanks Brian.

I picked up a Winchester Defender 12 ga pump w/18 inch barrel all dressed out tactical including the spot light. Probably one of the best shooting 12 ga shotguns I have ever shot from the shoulder or hip!

"Stand in front of her and site down the barrel as she aims the firearm.

And make double triple sure that the gun is unloaded.
I am sure you meant standing in front of her but still looking down the barrel from back to front.
My wife also is right handed but shoots left handed. She also catches with her left hand but also throws right handed.
She can write with either hand but prefers right.
