Remington 870 or Rossi Single Shot Shotguns?

February 19th, 2011 by eranio

I’v been looking at some 20 and 410 shotguns, and have really had my eye on them, their both priced very nice, the Rossi is about 0.00 and the Remington is I think around 0.00 at my local gun shop. If I go with the Rossi, I’ll be getting the 410, and if I go with the Remington, it’l be a 20 gauge, this also will just be a squirrel/rabitt gun, so not that important.

benelli supernova or remington 870 wingmaster?

February 18th, 2011 by eranio

we went to the store and picked out my favorite shotguns the remington is much lighter, smoother and has a better feel but doesnt shoot 3.5 inch shells (my favorites) the benelli has less recoil, shoots 3.5 inch shells and is waterproof. i am leaning more toward the 870 because i have one allready but need some advice thanks!
oh ya ill use it for mostly DOVE
it will be 12 gauge
i shoot 3.5 inch for fun because they kick alot and for long range duck or geese

Can an older 16 gauge shotgun handle steel shot?

February 12th, 2011 by eranio

i have an old Remington Sportsman and its around 50 years old. My buddy said that since its so old that it wont be able to handle steel shot. So could it handle the steel shot and if not what would be good alternatives?

ive seen zinc shot and bismuth but i dont know if those would work.
thanks!

My shotgun won't "fire" when I pull the trigger with the barrel on. Anyone know why this might be?

February 10th, 2011 by eranio

I have a Remington 11-87 Sportsman semi-automatic shotgun. When the barrel is on, and it is engaged (ready to fire), when I pull the trigger, nothing happens. It does "fire" when I pull the barrel about 2 inches out and pull the trigger.

looking to get a pump shotgun. help elaborate on differences?

February 9th, 2011 by eranio

Looking at the 12 gauge pumps – Maverick 88, Mossberg 500, Remington 870. I’ll consider others if you list them.

Specifically I want to know the differences between them. Is the felt-recoil about the same on all of them?

are they all equally reliable?

how about spread pattern? what is more accurate at 50 yards?

for fun, which one would you think would hold up longer in a post-apocalyptic ZombieLand?

Does the Remington 870 express super mag use changable chokes or is it set.?

January 19th, 2011 by eranio

Was looking to buy a shotgun. First I looked at the stoeger supermag that is comparable in price and just thought was a cheap gun that I will have to worry about breaking. Then I looked at the remington 887 and it had a set choke. So does the 870 have interchangable and if so how many come with it.

Is it true that some of the 700 series Remington rifles go off by themselves?

January 17th, 2011 by eranio

Did anyone see the October 20, Remington under fire CNBC program where the military showed the rifle going of too easily. I like their shotguns but i may put off the purchase of a 700 series rifle.
What do you think and what is your experience.

About to buy a shotgun from academy. Anyone heard anything about this specific shotgun?

January 10th, 2011 by eranio

H&R PROTECTOR HOME DEFENSE SHOTGUN
18.5" Barrel
5 round capacity
Chambers 2 3/4" and 3" loads
Black synthetic stock with recoil pad and swivel studs

http://www.academy.com/index.php?page=content&target=products/outdoors/hunting/shotguns&start=0&selectedSKU=0350-02021-5180

This looks like a decent shotgun for home defense. I’ve looked in Pawn Shops, and I can’t find anything that would be decent for home defense. Mostly long and bulky guns, and their too much money. Does this look like a decent gun? I’m just trying to get people’s opinions.

I’ve also checked all the WalMart’s around my area and none of them sell guns.

I don’t want to buy a gun that’s going to fall apart on me, I just want something that I can throw in my closet if I need to use it in case of a home invasion, and something I can take to my Grandpas lakehouse in the woods every 2 years or so.

Thanks guys! Btw, is that gun a 12 gauge? How do I tell? By the chambers size?
Is H&R a good brand?
What type of shells should I buy for it that would be good for home defense?
If I could afford anymore I’d go with a remington or a mossberg, just don’t have the cash. I’m 21 and in college.
What specifically do I look for when buying shells? How do I know something is the size I’m looking for.

http://academy.com/index.php?page=content&target=products/outdoors/hunting/shotgun_ammunition

Those are the only ones that are offered at academy, would any of those be good or would it be better to get them from another shop?
Also, out of those 3 different types of shells from academy which would be the best for my needs.

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.

Can anyone help me with the value of a Parker shotgun?

December 18th, 2010 by eranio

Serial Number 7, 12 gauge double barrel, with hammer. We are NOT planning to sell, but we’d like to have an idea of how much to insure. I’ve searched Parker & Remington web sites but came up with nothing.
Thanks for the link back to parkergun.org. I did look there, and they will research the gun for … I was trying to avoid the cost, but it’s probably worth it, really. I’ll check out a few catalogues as well.

Thanks for the help!
