lil hunter Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Re: Remington 870 Is it new, or used? If used, how good of shape is it in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LETMGROW Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Re: Remington 870 Is the bird barrel Rem-Choke? Is the slug barrel smooth bore or rifled? If it is rifled does it have sights or is it cantilevered? Wood or synthetic stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Re: Remington 870 What gauge? That "combo" sells for around $300 new I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WABS Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Re: Remington 870 I guess my question would be "why get rid of it"? You won't get that much for it and it is a great gun to hang on to as a back-up if you don't want to use it as your primary. I have an 870 Express with both barrels, have had it for 15 years. It isn't always my first choice to take to the field, but it has NEVER failed me in the field. And for those days in the field or blind when the weather may cause me to think twice about taking my more expensive guns - I just pull out the old 870 without a second thought. I'd recommend hanging on to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAbowhunter86 Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Re: Remington 870 I have seen them sell mainly for about 200 around here. If it is really good shape maybe 250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddhunter Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Re: Remington 870 Well a new 870 express is $238 at Wally World and the rifle barrel aperate new ia $169 at Bass Pro, so I would expect to pay no more than $300 for a used combo in good condition. I believe the combos at Wally worl are around $349 and anly come in synthetic stocks, or that may have been the 20ga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xen Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Re: Remington 870 well... the 870's of old were awesome. i'm not so sure about the new ones. they seem to be making some inexpensive versions to keep up with mossberg, winchester has done the same with the 1300. not saying all new versions are bad, don't anybody freak out, but most of the wal-mart specials for around 200, just don't seem to have the quality of the old 870.

clayman Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Re: Remington 870 Don't equate the "870's of old" and the 870 Express sold at Wal-Mart. You're most likely comparing the Wingmaster to the Express, and while they are built to the same dimensions, the Wingmaster (Walnut glossy Stock, smooth glossy bluing) is a Cadillac compared to the Express and it's dull finished birch stock with matte finished barrell. Fortunately, for the Express version, the functional quality is the same as the Wingmaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaCoyote Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Re: Remington 870 I second the new vs. old comments. I have a very old wingmaster my dad gave me 24 years ago that he bought used. The action is just so slick you cant believe it. It's a fabulous shotgun although very beat up. I bought my daughter an 870 express 20 ga. and it's fine, it surely works, but it's just not near the same. Rough action, ugly wood, stiff safety, ugly finish. The dull finish does serve a purpose but high polish blue is OH SO PURDY! It does throw out a nice pattern though and it's fun to shoot. Anyways, they are definately two different guns.

carbonhunter Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Re: Remington 870 I have to agree with the Old vs. New as well, or at least the Wingmaster vs. Express argument. I have owned a 20 guage wingmaster and a 16 gauge Express. The 20 gauge was great gun, smoooooth, and never had a shell stick, balance was great and it came to your shoulder like an old friend, it was an old gun though. Working the "new" Express was another beast, the gun stuck, shot some odd patterns, crappy bulky trigger, the stroke was real rough(after about 500 shells) and looked like the ugly duck. Only good thing I can say for the Express is it shot slugs like a rifled barrel out to 75 yards, and it came up pretty good. I traded the Wingmaster for my Citori and though I love the Browning I miss that 20 everytime I spend more than four hours straight in the field.
