Should i get the Remington 870 or the 887?

April 6th, 2011 by eranio

Im looking the Remington 870 Magnum with a synthetic stock. However i recently noticed the 887, it has the same chamber, 3 1/2, same barrel length, 28”, and same stock. The 887 costs 20$ more than the 870 and the 887 looks kinda like the Benelli Nova. Is there a real difference between the 870 and the 887?

What shotgun should i get?

March 31st, 2011 by eranio

I am now debating over a Mossberg Model 500 Field 20ga 3" 28" Accu-Choke a 20ga Browning Pump Shotgun invector plus (BPS) and a 20ga Remington 870 Super Magnum (870). They are both within 50 dollars of each other only diff is 870 and the mossberg are brand new. Which gun would be better quality and last longer.

On the Remington 1100 shotgun can you move the O ring on the ejector so it will handle light loads?

March 25th, 2011 by eranio

I have a 1100 Magnum that I would like to shoot light loads but it will not eject them, I was told you can move the O ring position on the slide to another location between the Piston or the Piston Seal or either turn the Piston or Piston Seal around, to work with light loads, question, which do you do?

Better shotgun for home defense – auto loader or pump?

March 12th, 2011 by eranio

I am thinking about purchasing a Remington 870 Marine Magnum for home defense. Its a pump shotgun. I was wondering what people’s opinions were w/r/t a shotgun for home defense – auto loader vs. pump and why?

Rifled slugs for a shotgun chambered for shells?

March 8th, 2011 by eranio

I have a Mossberg 500 12ga Field model, 28".
The barrel says "chambered for 2 3/4 and 3 in. shells"
The manual says "designed for 2-3/4" and 3" magnum shells within gauge"

In other words, no mention of rifled slugs. The manual says "designed for … shells and rifled slugs" only for models 535.

Does it mean that 500 Field models do not handle rifled slugs?
I have not removed the choke already in the barrel, but the extra two chokes that came with the shotgun are: Full, and Imp. Cyl.

what will my pellet spread be at 30 yards?

February 26th, 2011 by eranio

I use a mossberg 500 shotgun with a 28 inch vent rib barrel with a modified choke. i use federal field and target 2 3/4 inch #6 steel shot. is this a good setup for prairie chicken shooting and crow, and how big will my pellet spread be at about 30 yards?
i also have a box of winchester super double X 3" magnum copperplated lead #4 shot. would this be worth the hefty recoil?

How accurate are shotgun slugs at 100 yards? Remington Super Magnum?

February 8th, 2011 by eranio

I have a Remington 870 Super Magnum " 23inch smooth barrel and mod choke " with only the bead sights. I don’t want to buy a Slug black barrel because it won’t match the camo on my Remington.

I know I can shoot rifled slugs, but with what accuracy would I have at 100 yards or would I just be throwing my money in the trash ?
I dont hunt deer, only duck, geese and turkey.
slugs are for target practice only

Why do over-powder wads take up so much space in shotgun shells?

January 27th, 2011 by eranio

I can’t help but notice that about 30% of the length of many shotgun shells, even magnum type shells consist of a wad. Why can’t this be shortened? It would allow you to shorten the length of the shell which has many benefits. Why don’t they do this?

Looking for a shotgun for home defense?

January 5th, 2011 by eranio

I’ve got my eye on the marine magnum from Remington:
http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/shotguns/model_870/model_870_marine_magnum.asp -will this be a wise choice of investment? What price range would you expect to pay and should I use a combination of buckshot and slugs? Any info is appreciated as I am still learning about shotguns.

Which Remington should I choose for a shotgun?

December 27th, 2010 by eranio

I really like the Remington 870 marine magnum. In all the reviews ive seen it is a great shotgun. What shotgun do you think would be the best choice for a person looking for a Remington 870. Also what ammo would be good for target shooting and home defense. Is its shells 2 3/4 and 3?

Can I unscrewed the front sight bead on my 870 shotgun?

December 19th, 2010 by eranio

I have a remington 870 20 gauge magnum with 26" barrel. I want to replace the front sight with a screw-in fiber optic sight like they sell for about at bass pro or cabela’s. Can the stock metal front sight bead be unscrewed or is it just part of the gun?

Another shotgun question for people who know more than me. Remington 870 Express Synthetic yes or no?

December 3rd, 2010 by eranio

I purchased a Remington 870 EXPRESS synthetic. The gun seems to work fine with new name brand ammo. However after reading lots of comments (which I wish I had done before I bought it) the Rem 870 Express seems to be the "low end" type shot gun. Was the Express a good buy or should I have gone with the more expensive Model 870 Marine Magnum *which is supposed to be smoother (action) due to the Electroless Nickel Plating. Many people seem to like Browning pumps and also many people say that the 870 POLICE is better than the Express. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Any thoughts on the Remington 870 Marine Magnum shotgun?

October 18th, 2010 by eranio

I’m thinking of buying a shotgun for recreational/defense purposes, but I’m not crazy about the typical black and synthetic look most tactical shotguns have. I do like the silver appearance of the marine mag though. If you own a Marine Magnum or have shot one, please give me your thoughts and whether you would recommend one. Can it fire 2 3/4" and 3" shells only, or can it fire 3.5" super magnum shells as well? I don’t live on a boat but I do live right by the ocean if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance for all your comments.
