Re: 870 Express or Stoeger Uplander???

I wish that I could remember which shotgun was rated number one, It was an English shotgun, but I can't.
I just remember the 870 express being the number 2 rated shotgun because that is what I use and it shut my
buddy from bragging about his Browning for a while.

You are going to want to go with the type of shot that will do your dog the most good. If your pup will come in contact with a possible threat, you will want to vaccinate against it, no matter what the manufacturer says. Just ask someone who didn't.
