new barrel or new gun

[30 cal. hunter]

i have a older rem 1100 should i buy hasting barrel are they worth the money or should i buy a new 870 with a slug barrel on.

A new hastings barrel is gonna cost close to the same as the 870 slug gun so its just a matter of whether or not you want to add a new gun to your arsenal. I recommend the hastings barrel because they are very accurate (I have one on my 870). Either choice will be a good one though because Remington makes high quality products. However my friend and my dad's Remington barrels did have something go wrong with them.  The white that was on the front sight came off and it made it a little difficult to get a sight picture. But if you're gonna use a scope that's a non issue.

you can never have to many guns. i was just looking at the 1100 and is such nice shape i would like to keep it that way and your right their about the same price.i don't mind shooting a pump i have a few[835,super nova,rem 760 30-06] i think i will go with the 870 and in time add the hasting barrel.

If you don't want to scratch that 1100 I would say get a 870 exspress and put the 20" Econo Hastings for $159 on it. The Econo finish matches the exspress perfect.

I say get the new gun.
That way you don't have to do the barrel juggle.  I have a S&W 300 with a couple barrels and I have thought one tube was on it and when I pulled it out to shoot it the 30 inch full will be on it when I'm quail or dove hunting and I wanted the 26" improved or the 28" mod.  Another down side is storing the tubes.  They don't really fit in the safe and tend to fall over.

I say look into the new supelslug gun from remington...It has the new Ultragon rifleing..they claim 1 to 2 inch groups @100 yds the norm....
