[QUOTE="Rob72, post: 925974, member: 707"] Hmmm... I'm not a fan of Wilson's version of GR sight or their big safety, so personally, no. Are you saving weight? If you currently carry 10 rounds of ammo on your 590, and have a light system about 1.5# (IIRC) equal to the SF, you'll save a bit by losing some barrel. If not, this little bugger will probably weigh more- not necessarily "bad," since the shorter length will carry and handle much better, but if you're carrying it on search/road block/etc., it won't be light. As far as total cost, it's how much "fancy," you want or (genuinely) need. On a SBS, I would prefer backboring & extended forcing cone, not everyone does. I much prefer the Vang dome safety. I prefer an XS banded front Dot, and have an MMC rear, thought the LPA pictured is just as user-friendly. I like stainless followers, but the Wilson green plastic thingy is fine. So, on the cheap(er) side: 870 with Dept/Officer discount around $260 (I hope its still 20% +/-!!) Vang safety- $20 Wilson follower- $12 LPA rear- $100 XS front- $90 Barrel work- $50 (chop only, no backbore, etc..) Side saddle- $20 Speedfeed I stock- $80 Total- $542 + $200 stamp...:wave: [/QUOTE]
