remington 870

[Naches Sportsman]

Who uses one for hunting? I have been seeing a few floating around for cheap and wanting to know some pros and cons of them. I was looking at a synthetic for 275 today and was thinking that I should buy a cheap gun as I usually shoot my expensive berettas which wouldn't be good if I dropped it in the water.

I think im up to 4 870s now they seem to multiply when they go in the safe In my opinion they are the best pump shotgun out there for the money. the only complaint I have about them is the finish sucks it will rust. rattle can it or spend some coin and have it cerakoted.

I used one for a while for hunting and have since started to convert it to a SHTF gun. 870 is one of the best shotguns ever made, parts are everywhere, its easy to disassemble to clean, its rugged reliable, what else do you need?

[Mongo Hunter]

I should say its an automatic so its an 870 express.

If its an Auto its not an 870. the 870 is a pump gun so is it a 11-87 or an 1100?

ten million sold!!!!! best pump gun built, my 2!!    There is a huge difference between the Express and Wingmaster. The wingmaster being FAR superior.

You can't buy a better pump shotgun. Period.
I built a trap grade custom last year and shot just over 10k shells through it in 8 months. No hitches. They do the job.

I love my 1963 Wingmaster, though I hunt more now with my Nova because I can shoot 3" shells with it.

The 1970 safe queen and the el cheapo. The wingmaster is in about 90% condition. Awesome, love this gun. The express is ugly and functions well. Wingmaster,best pump ever made. IMO.

I do. best field field gun ever made in terms of reliability and toughness.  i have 3, 20 ga wingmaster, 12 ga express and a 410 express. ive had the 410 since i was a teen it was my cherry orchard gun i honestly cant tell you how many starlings that gun has sent to starling heaven, the finish has worn off the grip and forearm yet i have never cleaned it and it still goes bang everytime.

ive torn several apart and fixed a few they are an engineering marvel, so simple to work on and parts are stupid easy to find and cheap to get

been using mine anually since 1987, the parts are the same since more than 30 years prior and up to now, never failed me, ever.

Get a Mossberg 500 All purpose shotgun for $249.99 from Walmart with wooden stock and 28" barrel. It comes with F,M, and IC chokes and 10 years warranty.

Love mine. It's all scratched up, finish is coming off the wod and it doesn't look like much, but it goes bang every time and hits right where it's pointed.  How do you go wrong with that?
