Remington 870 question

Icedragon · 12-03-2006, 07:58 PM

Ive never actually owned a shotgun before but I have shot some 870s and im sold on them...but when I go to Remingtons website they have SEVERAL sub models of the 870 and im confused as to which one I should get, I just want an all around shotgun for: turkey, ducks, squirrels, rabbits, etc. So any comments would be appreciated! Thank You

is that just the Express model?

Plain ole 205 dollar express model will fit the bill. I have like 6 shotguns, some are gorgeous, but I end up taking my 870 alot cause I don't mind dropping it in the swamp.

Thats what I was figuring, so whats up with the rest, why are there so many for so few types of hunting?

the rest are like slug guns or the turkey gun has a shorter barrel and has two beads to line up so you get a more accurate shot. waterfow is a certain paterrn of camo i think. they all are just made to fit a specific type of hunting. but the 870 express is the all around gun. you can later go out and purchase a slug barrel for it if you want to.(in ohio you have to either use shotguns(slugs) handguns, bows or muzzleloaders.)
