870 for hunting?

Question

i have a remington 870 with a 6+1 shot capacity can i use it to hunt deer, elk, or birds if i put a longer magazine plug in it that restricts the capacity to 3 rounds? Thanks.

PS: i'm in oregon

Answer 1

Check with the Oregon Hunting laws or contact the local/state authorities and ask.

The 870 is almost a perfect hunting platform. I have four barrels for mine. 30" VR, R-C, Ducks/Geese, 28" VR Mod fixed choke, Grouse, Dove, 20" Fully rifled, rifle sights, sabot slug for Deer and Feral Hogs, 18" plain with bead sight: rifled slugs & Buck Shot home defense

Answer 2

Well, depends on your State's laws.  In Texas six plus one is no problem for deer.  Shell limitations for shotguns only apply while hunting migratory bird.

Answer 3

The Remington 870 is probably the most popular shotgun of all time. If you have a good vented rib barrel, and a slug barrel, there isn't too much you can't do.

Answer 4

Yes, it also depends on state laws too though.

Answer 5

check your local/state laws, to be 100% sure.

Answer 6

Yep.  If you did an after market modification and it didn't include a plug, a section of hardwood doweling works nice.  The drawback is that you will have to measure and cut it yourself, but it will be easy to find and may cost less.
