[QUOTE="KDM, post: 81101, member: 314"] I am still knocking the snot out of birds with the same 870 I bought 26 years ago. I named her "Bertha". She's big, heavy, loud, and has NEVER jammed on me once. She's been dropped, knocked over, baptized, stuck in the dirt, plugged with snow, iced over, and used as a club when an irate badger decided that 3 in the noggin just wasn't enough. She's taken everything from mice to deer and I couldn't be happier. I darn near cried when last year I had to replace her barrel due to what I think was a rusted together steel shotshell that essentially worked as a slug and bulged her barrel. The rest of her is ALL original right down to the springs. Everyone that hunts with me gets to hear about my ever reliable "Bertha" whether they want to or not. When and if that old girl has to be retired, I will get another one......just like'er. Thanks for the history lesson Zogman, I enjoyed the read. [/QUOTE]
