Best Value on the market

I have 3 Express's and each of my now adult sons have an Express(both right handed and left handed). It is single handedly the best value on the market for any age hunter. I also own some top end shot guns, so don't think the price is the only reason for

Great Little Shotty

The 870 is a shotgun designed by Remington in 1951, and is still in production today. There are a variety of different models, including the 870 Express Magnum, 870 Express, 870 Magnum, 870 Wingmaster, 870 Wingmaster Magnum, etc. They come in both 12 and

brand new & non-functional

Purchased a Remington 870 Youth Express at Bass Pro and went hunting and immediately found the shotgun would not eject spent shells Either it would not pull the spent shell out of the barrel, which would then need to be extracted manually or if the spent

gunguru is crazier than me

The first rifle or shot gun anyone should purchase is a single shot....if you dont understand why you should not even hold,own a rifle or gun. As for the 870 i find its not as balanced as my 500 and the recoil with the same shells is heavier. in 3 boxes o

Great and Affordable Shotgun

I have been a big fan of Remington and knowing many of the people craft these firearms, I knew I was purchasing quality. The ease of use, the craftmanship and the overall quality attracted me to purchasing the shotgun. I have put a couple of hundred round

this gun is a steal

I bought this gun for my daughters to shoot. It fits them well. I decided to use it on a dove hunt myself once because I could screw an Improved cylinder choke into it. My 1100 is a fixed mod. I was blown away by how well I did with it. I dropped nine bir

What can you say?

Country's best-selling shotgun for a reason, but please note the following:

Great Gun

I shot my first turkey last year at about 35 yards using this gun with 2-3/4 inch Remington Express shells and dropped it, so I would recommend this gun.

Great first gun

I got this gun from my dad as my first gun, I've had this gun for about 3-4 years and it still works like it did out of the box. I've used this gun mostly for trap and deer hunting. (I bought a separate Rifled barrel, this gun doesn't come with one) With

easy for arthritic old timers to shoot clays

My wife and I are slowing down, and this light shotgun is easier to shoulder and track clays than some of the others we checked. We both enjoy shooting it.It came with a removable choke, and there are several size chokes available. I now have three, the o

Awesome little gun

I got this gun about two years ago. Love it. The first time i took it out shooting clays i got 48 out of 50 , were as before i was maybe getting 12 out of 50 with a 12 gauge winchester. Only now I've grown out of it and looking at the 12 gauge 870. Love t

decent shotgun

Bought this for home defense, but have been shooting trap with it. Doesn't "mount" quit the same as a regular shotgun, but adequate. Removable chokes is a plus. Remington customer service is good, the butt cap came off the stock and they sent me

BAD GUN

so i got my gun for my birthday and i was vary exsided to shoot it me and some friends went out to shoot some ducks and like the 10th shell in it jammed and then after that i cant go a day of hunting with out it jamming it jammes up at lest 5+ times a day

870 20 ga youth best purchase yet!!

I am having trouble keeping squirrels out of my pecan trees and wanted a shotgun to help me out.Went to Wal Mart looking for a 20 ga shotgun.All they had was this little youth model.I bought it just because that`s all they had.I got it home and the next d

awesome purchase

I love this gun I bought it for my 13 year old shes had it for 2 years now and absolutely loves it it shoots nice and is perfect for her to carry around the woods. Great gun!

Look No Farther for a First Gun

I cannot say enough about this gun. So many years ago, my uncle (a Legend waterfowl hunter in my area) offered to take me shooting for the first time- I used an old 410 gauge and was instantly hooked. He promised me my first hunt after Christmas and I ask

Excellent for novice

I am a firm believer in a hunter's first shotgun needing to be pump action (I doubt many disagree with me) because the novice needs to learn to slow down and control his aim. The second reason I love this is because it's a Remington and these systems allo

Best youth shotgun out there!!!

I gave this gun to my son for Christmas. I tried it on me and it fit for me but my son too. After my son shot the gun at the local range, he said that it had almost no kick, barely bigger kick than a .22. I secretly shot it my self. He was right. This gun

Remington 870 Youth Express

The first day i shot the smooth barrel i went 20 for 25 on clay pigeons. One of the best shotguns I have ever used and can kill a Canvasback Hen in the air at 20 yards with regular 3 inch 4 shot. Plus, you can use the rifled barrel for deer hunting.

best first gun

i wanted for rabbit hunting with my dogs it the best gun i have had and relablie

Exellent

I used this gun nad i drooped it out of the stand, mud was in the barrel and it still shot after i took a stick and got the dirt out.About 30min later i droped two deer with it.

Remmington 870 Express Youth Model

Works great!! I've dropped it into the water a few times and no rust or anything! Only reason I gave it a four is because sometines the action will not go down all the way to eject the shell and my dad has to get it broken down by a gunsmith.

Not The Remington 870 of the Past

It still looks like the 870 I bought in 1976 but that's where the similarities end. The fit and finish on the new 870 is poor. There's a sharp edge where the trigger meets the receiver. I wore a bloody blister on my trigger finger shooting this gun. And t

One of the best firearms in my house

I am a shotgun hunter and I have killed more deer with this weapon than ever. It stops a deer in its tracks.

barrel and reveiver don't match

I purchased the brand-new Remington 870 Express. I fired the first shot at the range and then couldn't get the shell out. The range officer told me that the barrel and the receiver don't match. Later the Cabelas staff confirmed that. Cabelas helped me sen

A Solid Performer

Bought this shotgun in 12 gauge with 28" barrel. Took it to the range for some skeet and trap. After 270 rounds/clays, it is a SOLID performer! We used an automatic thrower and were taking on 5 clays, one after the other. The gun got really warm afte

I love Remington

This is a very good gun. It had slight ejection problems when I first got it, but worked itself out after cleaning. Now it cycles reliably. Disassembles for cleaning easily with simple parts. Good job, Remington!

Great gun for a beginner gun.

this is a good gun. Got it a few weeks ago to shot trap at kenmore range to kill time threw out the week. Took it up shooting put about 300 shell threw it between me an some budys. And shoots great but when tryin to shoot quick it fails to grab the shell

good gun, also bad

Bought one of these guns, used it a lot, 4h shooting, rabbit, squirrel, deer, pheasant, varmint hunting never really had a problem, other than during 4h the shell sometimes wouldn't eject, it's the type of she'll expands to much, causing it to get stuck.

Better options in the price range

So I bought this after doing some research on different beginner shotguns, and landed on this because of the reliability and excellent craftsmanship claimed on all Remingotn products.

Great gun and price!

This is a pretty good gun and for the price it is hard to beat. The black synthetic stock is solid and can take the wear and tear of waterfowling. This gun shoots well and isn't too heavy were one may start to feel it after a day of shooting birds or skee

Disappointed

The shell failed to extract on the second shot. I had to strip it and tap the shell out through the barrel. Tried it again, same thing. Called Remington, got it to an authorized gunsmith shop where they polished the chamber. Took it out and this time it f

Good Name Gone Bad

I bought this gun in 28" barrel for field use as my first shotgun. I did all the research I could and deliberated for a month between comparable products before purchasing the 870. I fired it 50 times and the ejector mechanism failed consistently all

Great shotgun

I received this shotgun as a Christmas present. My first day out with it i didn't miss one clay pigeon. The gun just fits your body right. The mobility of this gun is great, due to its extreme light weight. It is a great shotgun

best gun ever

i bought this gun three years ago went out to shoot it for the first time and fell in love with it. its light weight and very easy to shoot. my buddys are always asking to borrow it. it's very affordable. i dont baby my gun either and its held up through

Amazing Customizable Shotgun

Great gun for duck hunting or clay shooting. I've added a shurshot stock and a 5 round magazine extention on mine and its great for shooting clays with buddies.

This shot gun is very well worth it for the price

I had just bought this shotgun back in December and I highly recommend it to any one wanting a shotgun for a good low price and this shotgun with last a lifetime. The only thing I found that was annoying with it was that every now and then when I load the

Great Gun

First day out i put 225 rounds through this gun, and i only had one problem.... i ran out of rounds! This shotgun is easy to swing and manipulate, so much so i could handthrow my own clays and knock them down with ease. The action is smooth and the rounds

Nice shotgun for the money

Have used 870's for years in the Wingmaster edition and have been imprssed withe their durability and smooth action. Bought a 3" 870 express last month when I couldn't resist Cabelas' low price, free shipping and the rebate from Remington. Happy to r

owning several 870 pumps I find this one to be as the others just what I was expecting it would be . operates well . two things need to be improved by sportsmansguide..... the shotgun is a 4+1 capacity and it comes with the stock extention kit inclosed in

Great for home defense. No need for the 12 gauge. Bought two pieces of sheetrock and used them as a target at 15 yards away. # 4 Turkey load 3 inch magnum went through both pieces together. Glad I did that test.

remington make a nice 870. the compact express is great for brush and thick stuff(rabbits and grouse) with the shortter barrel and light weight. not to mention the composite stock and parkerized finish for all weather use. and the shot gun is priced right

I won this here at Bud's and is a solid shoty...Would recomend highly...Buds service is exceptional even in difficult circumstances...Thanks a lot guys...:)
