Glad you're enjoying that new 930 Red'. These new auto's really make shooting way more comfortable as you just alluded to. Didn't waste any time getting that baby out in the field, and I like that. Keep at it!

Thanks Mags. Great tip on the inline thing. I wasn’t sure how that worked.

So I added a “low recoil” option (🤣) to replace my .45-70 as my primary “oh crap, there’s a Grizzly!” gun. It’s a Turkish made 870 clone with 12” cylinder bore that cost $199. It’s remarkably well built, and my friends shop has sold hundreds of them and only had one or two come back for repairs. I hope to fire it 3x. Once each to pattern 00, 000 and a slug. After that, it will live under the seat of the truck, or in the boat.
