Hello from Marion, Ohio

[Short Bus]

Hi y'all!!! I've had a 3" 12 GA Wingmaster for 22-23 years now, but the last hunting license I bought was in 2001. Recently I've had an itch for a HD shotgun/tacticool range toy, so I did my research and found that the H&R Pardner is a 870 clone. I order a Tacstar grip set ($19) and a AIM Sports side saddle ($14) while I was looking for a deal. As luck would have it my wife needed to see her Dr. in Columbus (about 45 min. away), so I stopped at Cabela's and picked one up for $199 (They're $229 locally) and the had 00 buckshot for $4.50 for 10 . Now I need a light.

Here it is when I got it home



About 10 min. later



And the next day (the mailman brought me more goodies)

Welcome to the forum.

That setup sure fits the "tacticool" requirement, and at an impressively low price. I have a Hogue pistol-grip for my 870, and it's a lot of fun to play around with.

For HD duty though, you might want to consider swapping the shoulder stock back on. Those pistol grips can make a 12ga tough to control, and even tougher to quickly and reliably put shots where they need to go during a stressful situation.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

The reason I wanted the pistol grip setup is because I have a tight stairway with a corner midway down. I need something compact to round that corner.

Welcome to the forum!

I don't like pistol grip without stock because it hits the wrist painfully, but some people like such setup because of the very compact size.
