Last summer I bought an over/under and shot in a league and had my first 25 in the first round with the gun.
I haven't shot in a while, about three years since my son was born. I own the 870 and it's a great gun. Nearly indestructible and pretty accurate. When I was doing a lot of trap I averaged about 22-23. I even managed to shoot a few rounds of 25 but you have to be in the zone on those days. Also, fatigue does set in after a round or two of the recoil.
The Wingmaster is a little fancier but basically the same gun.
And like the others have said, removing the barrel is quick and easy.
