C-miner,
You may want to also look at the Winchester SX-2. I picked up a used one and it is a sweet shooting piece. I was going to get the 11-87 as parts and service (if needed) along with accessories are readily available. But I found an SX-2 3" chamber in used condition and it turned out to be a tad less expensive and came with a complete set of chokes. I picked up an Ithaca aftermarket slug barrel for a reasonable price and am now ready for anything that runs, hops, or flies in this locale.
Safe shooting.
