Nice gun. Can't say I've seen one with a vent rib and short barrel like that. I like it. DD ------------- Endeavor to persevere. |

Nice shotgun, Don't think you could wear one out in a lifetime. Head on over to YouTube and check out the disassembly and cleaning videos. These things break down for cleaning, really slick!

had my 870 since 1972....shot trap 1st 25 yrs or so and it got lots of use but didn't ever give any trouble. 21"bbl is a bit short for most hunting outside of turkey. Good for a social purpose gun tho.

You'll like the short barrel on it, I have a short barrel on my 870 12ga, it makes it fast, works great for Huns and Sharpies. Does it have Remcoke on it, or is it modified choke? ------------- Want to stop Drunk Drivers, from Killing Sober Drivers? Ban Sober Drivers from Driving. That's how Gun Control Works.

i would think it has the rem chock on it ... nice shotgun! and what makes even more spl. is you bought it yourself with your own money !!!! i started out with a 20 ga. and so did all 3 of my boys. they all have 12 ga. now but they still like to take the 20's when they are going to cover alot of ground... save your money , but keep a little off to the side and pick up a nice .22 and 1 other thing !!! never get rid of your first gun !!!! its very spl . !!!!!! ------------- mr mom |

congratulations Tail. Nice to see you post. You got a good one. I love pumps and have 6 of them (more than I need). Got a 1962 Rem 870 12 ga that has been made into a super grade trap gun. Got a 12 ga 870 express that has a poly choke and does everything well, boar, deer, turkey. Then my favorite 870 20 gauge, ultra light with vent rib, rem chokes, and a 24 inch barrel. this is my anything that flies gun, grouse, pheasants, doves and sporting clays. You have a gun that you can keep and enjoy your whole life, and pass on to the kids.

You can't go wrong with an 870. You will love it. A 20 guage might just be the perfect shotgun for upland birds and water fowl. Now, go out and try to wear that thing out.
