I was thinking of buying a used Remington 870 Wingmaster 12ga. I was looking to shoot skeet first, then waterfowl. Looking at a mod. choke 28" barrel. Is there a better starter shotgun?

great starter gun. lots of fun shooting skeet with a pump in 12ga or 20ga.
find one with screw in chokes.

Mod choke is a bit tight to shoot skeet and most local sporting clays.

Better would be one with interchangeable choke tubes. Screw in the right choke for what you are shooting.

If the shotgun is a REALLY good deal, you can buy a spare barrel with interchangeable choke tubes.

A Wingmaster is a damn fine shotgun. The Gun Shop in Essex had several used ones when I was there last.

Thanks guys! I will make sure to find one with interchangeable chokes.

Its a good choice in 12 and also in 20

Great gun. You will enjoy it for sure and it is very easy to find new barrels, stocks, whatever you need to make it just right for what you want to do.

Shooting skeet with a mod choked pump would be rough for most. Get one with interchangable chokes for sure if you want to shoot more than waterfowl.
