My first deer gun was. Remington 870, 20 gauge youth model. Light and accurate. It’s been a few years since I have shot it, and at least 15 years since hunting with it. Makes me want to get it out next season thinking about it.
When I first got mine, I was so excited I grabbed the only thing I could find locally, which was the Traditions Smackdown in 250 grains. It was been extremely accurate in mine and performed flawlessly on the deer I have taken, so I just keep buying it.
