Remington 870 Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

Good gun for the price

Gun is very good to shoulder and you can't beat the price for such reliability. However, after owning it for 3 years, it requires frequent oiling and cleaning to eject shells. It doesn't take any time at all to break down and put together.

You can do better

The 870 Wingmaster is/was an excellent pump gun. The Express has been popular and is a good gun to bang around in the duck boat, but the hardwood stocks add A LOT of weight to this gun. The machining is not as good and the action is not as smooth. Not nea

Shotgun review

I was very pleased with the shotgun i purchased. The salesperson was very knowledgeable and helpful with the entire process. I would definitely recommend Cabelas for any outdoors gear.

Great Shotgun

Excellent quality at a very competitive price. I have owned Remington firearms for over 50 years & the 870 12 Gauge is a good all around shotgun at an affordable price. Highly Recommend.

Good for the price

The Remington 870 is one of the most popular shotguns, probably because of the price. I have had mine going on 10 years. It shoots high and low brass shells pretty well. It will jam on you worse than other shotguns I have used if not kept clean. I am very

REMINGTON 870 EXPRESS [20GAUGE]

Bought this shotgun for grouse hunting and have found it to be a very accurate shooter. After reading many reviews I was a bit reluctant buying one. But I have found it to be a very reliable gun having experienced none of the problems others have found wi

Best gun to buy if you only need one gun, buy this

I bought my 870 this past January off the used gun rack. It is a 2015 manufacture with a 25" barrel and came with 4 chokes. I have put around 500 shells through it with no problems and rarely miss a clay pigeon or dove. I shot a 24 in wobble trap thi

Extractor Jams most of the time.

I have had my 870 Express since November of 2015. The guns shoots well and seems to be fairly accurate. However, I constantly have to remove the spent shell by hand. The extractor/ejector mechanism jams up most of the time. After doing some online researc

Great value

I bought this shotgun after researching guns for several months and I am very pleased with it. It fires accurately, ejects smoothly and looks great with the beautiful wood stocks. I put a 2 3/4 " slug dead center on target from about 30 yards. It's a

Great rifle!

For what you pay this a great shotgun. Have over 200 rounds through her and not a hiccup. Cycles nice and no ejection issues. It may not be as nice as the versions our fathers and grandfathers had but no complaints here! It's a classic shotgun and lots of

great shotgun

this was my first shotgun purchase, and im glad i went with it. The remington 870 is very smooth and a lot of fun to shoot. the only drawback is my gun doesnt like winchester ammo, it jammed a lot, had to pump it 3 or 4 times to ecject the shell. Ive used

Great gun!

All in all i'm very pleased with my 870. Not only is it an American icon but it shoots like one. For the price you really cant beat this gun; it performs just as good as any of my benellis if not better. I would prefer getting the wood stock over the synt

Ejection and extraction problems.

These 870's are not like the ones built in the past or the wingmaster. I have had problems with ejection and extraction since I bought the gun. I tried every solution I could to get it to run smoothly, but have had no luck. There are plenty of other optio

Functional

Pretty plain and nothing fancy. But very smooth and shoots great. You get the basics, hard recoil pad, 1 choke, no sling swivels so keep this in mind when pricing.

Great Purchase

I use my shotgun for clay shooting and target shooting and I couldn't be happier. I use target shot shells and I could shoot this gun all day with its low kick and lightweight structure. It's also very easy to take apart and clean. Would highly recommend

Great gun!

I purchased this gun back in April for meat shoots with my grandfather. I looked at guns all the way up to +$1,000 and ultimately settled on this gun, a 12 gauge in 26" barrel. For lack of a better term, it just felt solid!

Nice gun at a great price

Just picked one up in 20 gauge. Was a little skeptical as my supermag has issues. This one works flawlessly. With the rebate it is a great deal. Its also a pound lighter than the 12 gauge. The only thing I would change is even though it is a 20 gauge the

Best shotgun for the price

I recently purchased this firearm and have put a few hundred rounds through it so far and have not had one problem with it. Very nice wood finish. Very easy disassembly and assembly. The only problem is it wont fit in my case because its 28" long but

Very reliable

I was given an 870 probably 5 years ago and it performed great. Only problem was my performance with it, that's reason for four stars. This gun could probably could be thrown into the muck in the bottem of a swamp, left there for a month, hosed off, and s

Beginner/Budget shotgun

For the money this is a great shotgun, I have owned this shotgun for 3 years now. It has worked great for me in the field over those years. As long as you take care of it it will last,

First Shotgun

This is the first shotgun I have bought. I bought it on the recommendation of other more experienced gun owners. It did not disappoint. I only started shooting trap about 2 months ago and have shot about 12 rounds to date. This weekend with my new gun, I

Great gun

This is a great gun, I've used it for dove and rabbit hunting and so far no problems. Only bad thing is whenever you have to walk a little while it can get on the heavy side.

They've Made 10,000,000 for a reason

After months of exhaustive research, I finally decided on the Remington 870 Express. I shouldered every comparable shotgun out there, and I eventually ended where my research started, with the 870. I shot a round of trap with it two days after I got it, n

Solid First Gun

I got this gun for bird hunting. It came with everything I needed. Came with a plug, choke tubes and a trigger lock. It is very affordable and worth every penny. I feel like I could drop it or bang it up and it would still fire. After talking to a lot of

Very reliable first shotgun

I've been using my 870 12 gaige for only 2-3 years but I still love it to death. It's so simple just about anybody can use it and it has never let me down. It never jams even if i empty the whole magazine (mine holds 5 shells) into a deer thats 70 yards a

Good, solid shotgun.

Having owned an 870 in the past I purchased a new one at Bass Pro Shop. I got the 28 inch barrel as that was all they had at the time. As with any new mechanical item there can be a bit of roughness at first but I have had no problems what so ever. I did

Great shotgun!

Went to Cabelas looking for a shotgun for my wife to use as a multi-purpose hunting/target gun. Initially we went looking to by the weatherby pa-08 but upon handling the 870 that fell away. I took the 870 out to the range a day later to send different loa

Best First Shotgun

This was my very first gun purchase, and it was a good one. I wanted to give duck hunting a try and I decided on this gun due to price and the great reviews I've read on it. Everything about this gun lived up to it's reputation. Reliability, durability, s

Overall great shotgun

Never jams, easy to clean, and very versatile when it comes to hunting. The first time I ever shot it put 175 rounds through it and had no hiccups what so ever. For only 319 bucks, its a steal.

My Remington 870 12 gauge

I bought this gun for duck and upland hunting. It is a very good quality gun for the price. It is a simple design but performs very well. Though I would not recommend winchester ammo for it because it is very cheap and cycles terribly. It comes with a mod

Best Bang For Your Buck!!!

I love this shotgun, i highly recommend it to anyone! Ya know the saying you get what you pay for? Well at 330.00 it shoots like a 500.00+ shotgun, in my book thats a deal! When i went into bass pro i had planed on buying the 12g synthetic stock but they

A Must Have!

I have had this gun for about 5 years now and it's still shooting just as good as the day I got it. If I had to guess, I have probably shot it 10,000+ times and have never had any problem with it jamming. I have a moderate choke in it that works good, but

awesome gun

Very good gun. Haven't used it very much yet but really like it. Glad that I didn't get the single shot that I was looking at before.

Do you not own atleast 2?

Weather it's grey squirrels in the Oak woods or in the pond for large ducks, the 870 12 gauge is reliable and does what its intended for minimal cost

Classic, must have

I have two Remington Shotguns and I just bought this one as it was on sale, and is a classic and must have gun for any outdoorsman. Just a great pump action shotgun that is solidly built and has a classic look. It's a bit heavy, but it's a shotgun so it s

This is a great gun. It takes a beating and keeps on shooting. A true bottom of the boat gun. Just do it. You will not be sorry.

Great workhorse

Bought this shotgun back in April and it has already gone through about 1,200 rounds. It has a durable, quality build, solid stock, and is easy to clean. Put a Mossy Oak skin on, and now it's great. The only problem I have had is jamming during ejection,

Remington 870 express

No problems shot skeet all day. Not one jam nothing I rate this weapon a five star it handled well.

reliable

If you keep this gun clean than it will shoot and eject great. if you don't than it will jam up now and then. It is really durable and doesn't rust easy, I shot 2 turkey in the rain on the same day and dropped both of them. My only complaint is the weight

Great Buy

this gun is awesome, i picked this up having never used a pump gun and i was able to use it fine within 5 min's. i did have some trouble with the plug. but otherwise, this is the best $285 iv ever spent (got on sale)

I gets the job done but you can do better.

I bought this gun in November this year and it's performed well for me in that time. However I've had issues with the quality of the gun. I bought it new and once I started comparing it to my other guns or similar guns my friends own, I found I really did

real nice

Picked this up a few weeks ago and I am happy. Works great no problems at all. Have run a few hundred shells through it. Only thing is that the recoil pad is real hard so I swapped it out. Other than that it is one great shotgun.

not true checkering

The Remington 870 is a great gun. I just picked up one a few weeks ago. Overall its a fantastic gun only reason I gave it a 4 star rating and not a 5 star is that the checkering is not even true checkering. Its a stamped checker pattern with very little g

Good stater shotgun

If you are looking for your first shotgun or something to add some bolt on's then this is where to start at. I have heard that the new 870 express is a rust magnet so I'm curious to see. It came covered in RemOil so I'm waiting to see. They are made quite

i have droped a turkey in its traks and since im a poor redneck i use it to skeet shoot but it only has one bead so lining up is a little hard but its still a great gun

Great beginner gun

It is a great beginner gun. The shotgun shoots true and the ease of changing out the choke makes the firearm very versatile. I use it often when I go duck hunting. Only thing I would say is keep it clean, but that goes for any firearm

Not as good as they once were

I happily bought this gun because I was told from someone who bought one 30 years ago that it was a great gun that was affordable. But turns out, they aren't as good as they once were. I have had two different problems, 1) Sometimes the shell would expand

Great Durable, Functional Weapon

Best Pump Gun for the Money

I was given this gun as a gift a while back and have been very happy with it. I had been using an old full choked Browning A5 for upland game (won't shoot steel) and a Mossberg 500 for waterfowl. This gun is great for both. Since using this gun, I have ne

This firearm has never jammed on me. It is extremely reliable and i have enjoyed using this gun for pheasant, rabbit, and deer. It's not a punishing recoil if you plan on going trap shooting.I would definitely recommend this to a friend.

I was skeptical about buying this because I've used the Wingmaster pump growing up. I thought the laminate stock would be cheap but the only difference is that the express isn't all shiny. The action is smooth and quick. It only comes with one choke inste

Awesome Shotgun!

A friend and i went to a meat shoot and he brought his 870 with him. I had never fired one before. After it was all said and done, I had to have one. It is an amazing gun and for the price, you just can't complain.

Good Quality Gun

Remington 870

The Remington 870 is an iconic shotgun. I have not met many gun owners who do not own one or have at least shot it at some point. 

I may be a bit biased in my review because this was the shotgun I grew up with but that does not take away f
